97 years ago today, January 17, 1929, Popeye the Sailor Man made his first appearance in the King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre. The spinach-loving sailor soon became so popular that the strip was eventually renamed after him. In 1933, Fleischer Studios—run by Max and Dave Fleischer—adapted Popeye and the Thimble Theatre characters into a series of theatrical cartoon shorts for Paramount Pictures. These cartoons became some of the most beloved of the 1930s, with production continuing through 1957 under both Fleischer and later Paramount’s Famous Studios. Today, the shorts are owned by Turner Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. Popeye’s cultural impact is undeniable—TV Guide ranked him #20 on its "50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time" list in 2002. #Popeye #ThimbleTheatre #ClassicCartoons #AnimationHistory #1930sCartoons #SpinachPower #WarnerBros #FleischerStudios
