Popeye
Popeye the Sailorman

Maybe Popeye the Sailorman was right about eating spinach.

In the 1950s, a spinoff strip was established, called Popeye the Sailorman.

It played "Popeye the Sailorman."

Tom Sims, the son of a Coosa River channel-boat captain, continued writing Thimble Theatre strips and established the Popeye the Sailorman spin-off.

For a time, the Popeye the Sailorman cartoons were inspired by Tom Sims, a Coosa River resident in Rome, Georgia who was familiar with riverboat life and characters of the early 1900s .

In October 2007, to coincide with the launch of the Popeye mobile game, Namco Networks and Sprint launched a Popeye the Sailorman sweepstakes offering the authorized edition four-disc Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938 Vol.
