Ham Gravy
From Popeye Wiki
Ham Gravy, also known as Harold Hamgravy, was a Thimble Theatre character created in 1919. [1]
Ham Gravy was the original fiance of the better-known character Olive Oyl, but was often attracted to other women who were considerably wealthy. Hamgravy was depicted as a slacker who preferred getting rich quick rather than earning money honestly.
In a later strip, Ham Gravy hired the better-known character Popeye to man his ship for a treasure hunt. As time passed, Ham was replaced by Popeye as the prize for Olive's affections. Ham made occasional appearances in the Popeye strips, but never had the fame he once held.
Ham made a supporting appearance in the 1980 film, Popeye, where Olive has recently left Ham and has since begun dating Bluto at the film's opening. He was played by Bill Irwin.
