{{Italic title|Popeye}}
 
  
'''''Popeye''''', formerly '''''Thimble Theatre''''', is a newspaper comic strip, first created by E.C. Segar in 1919. In 1929 it spawned a break-out character, the superstrong sailor [[Popeye]] which was adapted into a popular animated film serial by Max and Dave Fleischer in 1933. The franchise has spawned hundreds of comic strips, animated cartoons and a few TV adaptations and feature films.
