While he was a somewhat significant character in the comics, the Fleischers merely made him an incidental character in the cartoons, who was always [[RuleOfFunny just there for the mere sake of comic relief.]] In fact, he was so minor in the cartoons that he was abandoned by the Fleischers after "Onion Pacific", and it wasn't until a full decade later that he would appear again, in the short "Popeye Makes A Movie."

He was a pretty minor character, and his last appearance under the original Fleischer Studios was, fittingly, in their last cartoon, "Baby wants a Battleship" in 1942, and he would appear again in the 1950 Famous short "Baby Wants Spinach."

-->--Popeye's debut on January 17, 1929 in Thimble Theater, as well as his EstablishingCharacterMoment.
Popeye the
Part of what made Popeye such an instant hit with audiences was that, despite his odd appearance and gruff conduct, he was one of the few moral forces in the world of Thimble Theatre-Popeye also got along great with children, even going as far as to
Speaking of original, Popeye was the original superhero-over a decade before {{Superman}} graced the comic pages, Popeye was blessed with inhuman strength and astounding durability and endurance, taking ''dozens'' of bullets in his first adventure before finally being brought down.
While Popeye was already a major force in the comics, the sailor with a sock got his big break when animation pioneers MaxAndDaveFleischer, known for their BettyBoop cartoons, brought him to the big screen alongside Betty Boop in a six minute short subject. These Fleischer cartoons took the series to new levels not even touched by the original comics-while Popeye was already very strong in the comics, the Fleischers made Popeye strong enough to ''stop a train dead in its tracks'' and ''move entire landmasses'', as well as RealityWarping abilities--he could punch objects which would either morph them into something different or split them into multiple smaller objects--one short even had Popeye ''[[BeyondTheImpossible blow out the sun like a candle]]'' [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome just so he could get some private time with Olive.]] And he could do all of this
While some animation fans have criticised the series for it's "formulaic Popeye Vs. Bluto structure", in reality this was done out of necessity-the original comics had stories that went on from weeks to even MONTHS at a time, which would have been impossible to compress into six minute low budget cartoon shorts. On that note, the series didn't even rely on the Bluto and Popeye fighting as much as one would think-there were plenty of shorts the Fleischers made that experimented with other settings and stories outside of their rivalry, and even the ones that did feature the status quo pulled many, many different, creative variations of the formula-from battling on logs floating down a river to competing for the title of "King of the Mardi Gras", these shorts are still as fresh and original feeling today as apple pie. And obviously, the Fleischers love of surreal sight gags and DerangedAnimation was carried over from their BettyBoop shorts, with such sights as the visual metaphors that appear in Popeye's muscles upon consuming spinach and the aforementioned reality warping powers of Popeye-none of which ever appeared in the original comics. Another odd fact was that prior to the war years, Popeye was hardly ever on ships-most of his adventures were set on dry land, only sporadically going off to sea.
Needless to say, Popeye's theatrical cartoons were an instant smash success on release, quickly toppling MickeyMouse as the then-king of cartoons. While the series was gradually toned down as time went by (even in the comics, Popeye was forced to be toned down due to him having a large kid fanbase) this character and friends still pop up in some form or another to this day, with a recent TV special celebrating his 75th anniversary, as well as an upcoming Sony Pictures CGI film. Here's hoping for the best with this sailor's future!
