The strip initially showed up in the New York Journal, a daily paper worked by King Features manager William Randolph Hearst, on December 19, 1919 preceding later venturing into more papers. In its initial years, the strip emphasized characters playing different stories and situations in showy style (subsequently the strip's name).
Thimble Theater's first primary characters/performers were the meager Olive Oyl and her sweetheart, Harold Hamgravy. After the strip moved far from its introductory center, it sunk into a parody experience style offering Olive, Ham Gravy, and Olive's venturesome sibling, Castor Oyl. Olive's guardians, Cole and Nana Oyl, additionally shown up.
Popeye initially showed up in the strip on January 17, 1929 as a minor character. He was at first contracted by Castor Oyl and Ham to group a boat for a voyage to Dice Island, the area of a money joint possessed by the warped card shark Fadewell. Castor planned to burn up all available resources at the club utilizing the unsurpassable good fortunes gave by stroking the hairs on the head of Bernice the Whiffle Hen. Weeks after the fact, on the outing back, Popeye was shot commonly by Jack Snork, a numbskull of Fadewell's, however made due by rubbing Bernice's head. After the endeavor, Popeye left the strip, yet because of onlooker response, he was rapidly brought back.
The Popeye character got to be popular to the point that he was given a bigger part, and the strip was ventured into a lot of people more daily papers accordingly. In spite of the fact that starting strips displayed Olive as being short of what inspired with Popeye, she inevitably left Ham Gravy to turn into Popeye's better half and Ham Gravy left the strip as a general. Throughout the years, on the other hand, she has frequently shown a whimsical state of mind towards the mariner. Castor Oyl kept on coing up with get-rich-snappy plans and enrolled Popeye in his misfortunes. In the end he settled down as an investigator and later on purchased a farm out West.

Likewise, the strip emphasized the Sea Hag, a loathsome privateer, and also the keep going witch on earth (her significantly more awful sister excepted); Alice the Goon, a gigantic animal who entered the strip as the Sea Hag's cohort and proceeded as Swee'pea's sitter; and Toar, a stone age man.
Segar's strip was truly unique in relation to the toons that emulated. The stories were more perplexing, with numerous characters that never showed up in the kid's shows (King Blozo, for instance). Spinach utilization was uncommon and Bluto showed up. Segar would sign some of his initial Popeye funny cartoons with a stogie, because of his last name being a homophone of "belvedere" (proclaimed SEE-gar).
Thimble Theater soon turned into one of King Features' most prominent strips throughout the 1930s and, succeeding a consequent name change to Popeye in the 1970s, remaining parts one of the longest running strips in syndication today. The strip carried on after Segar's demise in 1938, at which point he was supplanted by an arrangement of specialists. In the 1950s, a spinoff strip was secured, called Popeye the Sailorman.
