Olive Oyl is a cartoon character created by Elzie Crisler Segar
in 1919 for his comic strip "Thimble Theater." "Thimble Theater"
later became Popeye after the sailor character became the most
popular member of the comic strip's cast. Olive Oyl was a character
in the strip for 10 years before the first appearance of Popeye in
1929.
The version of Olive Oyl most widely familiar is the version from
the theatrical animated cartoons. Unlike most modern damsels in
distress, Olive Oyl has short hair, is tall, skinny, with enormous
feet, and not particularly attractive. In the films and later
television cartoons, Olive Oyl is Popeye's girlfriend, although she
could be extremely fickle, depending on who could woo her the best
or had the flashier possessions, and was prone to get angry over
the tiniest things. She constantly gets kidnapped by Bluto (aka
Brutus), who is Popeye's archrival for her affections, but Popeye
always rescues her, winning her affection in the end.
