  Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Captain Easy
Captain Easy is another of those characters like Nancy, Snuffy Smith and Popeye — he started out as a supporting player, and wound up taking over the strip.
On May 6, 1929, he introduced Captain Easy — and before long, Easy was the hero and Wash was the sidekick.
With Easy apparently on the verge of marrying and settling down, Wash took to the road.

 Captain Easy
Captain Easy, Soldier of Fortune was an action/adventure comic strip created by Roy Crane that started Sunday, June 11, 1933 and was discontinued in 1988.
Originally Captain Easy was a supporting character in the series Wash Tubbs, which focused on the adventures of the zany Washington Tubbs II.
Easy was by that time in the U.S. Army and with Tubbs an increasingly unimportant character Turner officially renamed the daily and Sunday strips Captain Easy in 1949.

Mr Midshipman Easy is one of the most popular of Captain Frederick Marryat’s sixteen novels, and, published in 1836, it came seven years after his first novel, The Naval Officer.

Midshipman, however, is the story of Jack Easy, who has learnt from his father (a wealthy old man) that all men are created equal and should be treated as such.

 Keeshan, Bob
As the easy-going Captain with his big pockets and his bushy mustache, Keeshan lured children into close engagement with literature, science, and especially music, adopting an approach which mixed pleasure and pedagogy.
Keeshan not only vividly embodied the Captain, the friendly host of the Treasure House, but also played a central creative role on the daily series, supervising and actively contributing to the scripts and insuring the program's conformity to his conceptions of appropriate children's entertainment.
A sharp critic of contemporary children's television, Keeshan is currently making efforts to get a new version of Captain Kangaroo onto the air, but since he does not own the rights to the character, there is some possibility that the captain may be recast.
