Popeye is a sailor character and protagonist appearing in comics and animated cartoons, known for his squinting (or entirely missing) right eye, huge forearms, skinny upper arms, and corncob pipe. He can occasionally be seen smoking his pipe but usually he toots it like a tugboat and sometimes uses it as a weapon by blowing the smoke in his enemies faces. His strength varies among his appearances, in some, he is unusually strong and can lift heavy objects over his head, but in others he is a weaker man whose only physical attribute is a higher-than-average pain endurance, but in most cases he is able to gain a boost in strength to defeat an enemy by eating spinach. He is known to mutter when he speaks and mispronounce words (e.g, he calls elephants and infants "elephinks" and "infinks").
During the World War II shorts, he was a member of the U. S. Navy and could occasionally be seen fighting the Germans and Japanese. The ones in which he did have sometimes been banned from television for being politically incorrect.

Character history
Edit
Popeye was created in 1929 by E. C. Segar in his comic strip Thimble Theatre (inspired by a local man, Frank "Rocky" Fiegel) and was popular enough to be be adapted into animation. In the various cartoons he would usually have to rescue his girlfriend Olive Oyl from Bluto/Brutus, his rival and sometimes friend. Some of the cartoons take a different approach, like him rescuing Olive from another threat, dealing with something alone, fighting a small enemy he cannot beat, or watching over his adopted son Swee'Pea.
