Was Elzie Crisler Segar (December 8 1894-13 October 1938) is an American cartoonist, best known as the creator of Popeye, a character first seen in 1929 in a newspaper strip Thimble Comic theater.
Segar was born and raised in Chester, Illinois, a small town near the Mississippi. The son of a handyman, his work experience was soon to help his father in house painting and paper secured. Skilled at playing drums, he also films and vaudeville acts musical accompaniment in local theater, where he received in the end the job of Film Projectionist. At the age of 18, I decided to cartoonist. I worked hard on a correspondence course in cartoons by WL Evans, of Cleveland, Ohio, where I invested $ 20. In September 1934 issue says Better Homes and Gardens Segar costing it $ 100. He said that after work illuminates "the lamps about midnight and worked until 3 hours on the job."
Segar moved to Chicago, where he was encouraged Richard Felton Outcault, creator of the Yellow Kid and Buster Brown. Encouraged Outcault encouraged him and introduced him to the Chicago Herald. On March 12, 1916, the Herald published the first Segar's Comic, Charlie Chaplin's Comedy Capers, which was held to just over one year. In 1918 I moved to Hearst's Chicago Evening American where he created Looping the Loop. Segar married Myrtle Johnson that year they had two children. He died at age 43 after being long illness.Managing Segar editor William Curley thought could succeed in New York, and as he put it that King Features Syndicate, when Segar worked for years long. He started drawing Thimble theater on the New York Journal. Make the strip beginning December 19, 1919, with the characters Olive Oyl, Castor Oyl and Hamgravy Horace, whose name was soon shortened to strip but the "time Gravy". They were introduced to the strip for ten years or so. In January 1929, when Castor Oyl needed a sailor on a ship to Dice Island navigation, Castor selected age up salt water at the named Popeye. The first words in the Popeye strip, when asked whether he was sailor, was: " 'Yes, so I cowboy?". The Popeye character stole the show and the characters became permanently available. Some of the other significant characters J. Segar created the Eugene Wellington Wimpy and Jeep.
