Popeye is an independent sailor with a unique way of speaking, muscular forearms with two (sometimes one) anchors tattooed on them, and an ever-present corncob pipe.

 Popeye History
The sailor had one eye, smoked a corncob pipe, had overly thick forearms, muttered constantly to himself, had no teeth, was inarticulate and often subject to fits of frustration, even though he was driven by a heart of gold and unwavering morality.
Olive Oyl made the wisecracking sailor her new boyfriend, and within a few months Popeye became the central character in the search for the "Whiffle Hen." When Segar ended the episode and tried to dispense with the sailor, angry fans contacted the paper and wanted more.
Where the Segar stories were complex and followed unexpected directions, the Fleischer stories followed standard conventions, making the characters fundamentally predictable.

 Comic Book Resources - Comic Book News, Reviews and Commentary - Updated Daily!
Popeye The Sailor -- the creation of cartoonist Elzie Crisler Segar (1894 - 1938) - was introduced in the King Features syndicated newspaper comic strip, THIMBLE THEATRE on January 17, 1929 (nearly ten years into the strip's run).
Segar - whose signature included a cartoon of a cigar butt - discovered that he enjoyed writing and drawing the pugnacious sailor, so much so that he extended his presence in THIMBLE THEATRE.
When the POPEYE strip was re-launched in the mid-1980s, it was written and drawn by former underground cartoonist Bobby London; his version of the sailor man combined Segar's classic approach with a distinctive contemporary flavor.
