Popeye the Sailor is a fictional hero famous for appearing in
comic strips and animated films as well as numerous TV shows. He
was created by Elzie Crisler Segar, and first appeared in the daily
King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17,
1929.
In most appearances (except during the World War II era), Popeye is
a middle-aged independent sailor (or "sailor man," as he puts it)
with a unique way of speaking, muscular forearms with two
(sometimes one) anchor tattoos, thinning red hair, and an
ever-present corncob pipe (which he toots like a steamship's
whistle at times). Despite some mistaken characterizations over the
years, Popeye is generally depicted as having only one blue eye,
his left. In at least one Fleischer cartoon, Bluto refers to Popeye
as a "one-eyed runt." It has never been revealed specifically how
Popeye lost his right eye, although he claims it was in "the mos'
arful battle" of his life. Later versions of the character had both
eyes, with one of them merely being squinty, or "squinky" as he put
it.
