	Ed Black's Cartoon Flashback
		Segar was born December 8, 1894, in the Mississippi River town of Chester, Illinois.
		Segar completed the course in a year and a half and when he received his certificate in the mail, as far as he was concerned, he was a bona fide cartoonist.
		Segar shored up his drawing and storytelling abilities by just doing it, eight hours a day, six days a week so when the time came for his fame to take off, he was ready.

	The Creator

		Segar rallied sufficiently to take the strip back for a few months in the summer but again became ill and never drew another strip.

		Chester's Popeye was dedicated in 1977 to honor the spinach-eater's creator, Elzie Segar, who was born in Chester in 1894.
		Segar reportedly based his comic characters on people around town.
		Popeye's swollen forearms were Segar's waggish slap at the rigid "life drawing" classes he endured in his art school days.

	SH Forums - Bluto vs Brutus
		Segar had only intended Bluto to be a one-shot antagonist but the bearded brute wound up appearing in most of the cartoons produced by Fleischer and later by Paramount Studios.
		Because Bluto had not appeared much in the Segar strips, someone at King Features made the mistake of thinking Bluto had been created for the cartoons and therefore could not be used in their new films.
		In the case of BLUTO - Segar never returned him - after POPEYE was allowed to engage him in a bloody battle and defeat him with his legendary 'twisker punch'.

	Ed Black's Cartoon Flashback
		He met Elzie Segar by happenstance as a teenger in Santa Monica, California, and became Segar's assistant in 1931.
		Passed over to continue the strip after Segar's death in 1938 because of his youth, Sagendorf was hired by King Features as a staffer in its bullpen, and later did the Popeye comic books.
		After Elzie Segar died in 1938, successive cartoonists drew the characters similar to Segar's designs, but in later years cartoonists used their own styles, as in this daily strip from 1992, featuring Castor Oyl and Popeye.

		Segar chose as his characters the oddly named Oyl family: siblings Castor (a fairly benevolent schemer) and Olive (skinny, but somehow something of a guy magnet), their parents, and Olive’s boyfriend, Ham Gravy.
		Segar became known for his many zany creations, who usually only showed up for a single sequence and were never seen again.
		His popularity in the shorts led to Segar including him in the strip more regularly as well, although some disagreement over the name (between King Features and Paramount) in the 1950’s caused Bluto to be renamed Brutus for the comic strip and comic books.

		Segar's characters were not the only things consistent with the Fleischer style.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Popeye the Sailor
		Cartoonist Elzie Segar had been chronicling the adventures of Castor Oyl and his pal, Ham Gravy, in his King Features newspaper strip, Thimble Theatre, since 1919.
		Segar died of leukemia in 1938, and the strip was taken over first by Charles H. "Doc" Winner and later by Segar's assistants, Bela Zaboly and Forrest "Bud" Sagendorf.

		He was created by Elzie Crisler Segar and first appeared in the King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929.
		Sagendorf, who had been Segar's assistant, made a definite effort to retain much of the classic style, although his art is instantly discernable.
		Where plotlines moved very quickly with Segar, it would sometimes take an entire week of Sagendorf's daily strips for the plot to be advanced even a small amount.

		The colorful locals from Segar's hometown had evolved into a pipe-tooting, spinach-chomping hero, the "goil" he was always rushing to save from danger and a man with a paunch to prove his passion for burgers.
		Schuchert's great-great-uncle, J. William Schuchert, hired Segar to run the lights in his Chester Opera House, a job that helped Segar pay for a correspondence course in drawing.
		Segar did not visit Chester much after he left in the early 1920s.

		Wotasnozzle (whose name is frequently misspelled with an extra letter, i.e., "O.G. Wottasnozzle") is one of those toons like Captain Easy and Steve Roper, who start out in supporting roles and go on to upstage the star.
		John Sappo, a typical schlub who commuted to work and had a less-than-satisfying home life, was created about 1924 by Elzie Segar, whose best-known character is Popeye the Sailor.
		Segar's former assistant, Bud Sagendorf, began writing and drawing Popeye for Dell Comics, and Wotasnozzle was revived in Popeye's back pages.

		After the death of their creator in 1938, Popeye and Olive continued on, but unfortunately lost most of their ingenious and provocative edge, which was uniquely characteristic of Segar's brilliant, inimitable style.
