Popeye later attributed his strength to spinach. Popeyes Vorliebe für Spinat steht in Zusammenhang mit der seinerzeit aufkommenden Ansicht, dieses Gemüse wäre aufgrund seines angeblich hohen Eisengehalts ein ideales Stärkungsmittel, was damals auch viele Eltern dazu brachte, Kinder und Heranwachsende zum Essen des meist wenig geschätzten Spinats zu „nötigen“. In den 1930er und frühen 1940er Jahren produzierten die Fleischer Studios eine Reihe von Zeichentrickfilmen um die Figur des Popeye, die nachfolgend aufgelistet sind.

Music was provided by Victor Irwin's Cartoonland Band. Die Figur des knurrigen, aber herzensguten und vor allem schlagfertigen Seemanns wurde schnell sehr populär, so dass Ham Gravy durch ihn ersetzt und auch Castor Oyl zunehmend an den Rand gedrängt wurde.

Works for hire are protected for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter. In the strip as written by Segar, Olive was something of a coy flapper whose extremely thin build lent itself well to the fashions of the time; her long black hair was usually rolled in a neat bun, like her mother's. [118], Initially Popeye's chief superhuman characteristic was his indestructibility, rather than super strength, which was attributed to his having rubbed the head of Bernice the Whiffle Hen numerous times after being shot. His neck is long and thin, bending halfway at an enormous adam's apple. Upon swallowing the spinach, Popeye's physical strength immediately becomes superhuman, and he is easily able to save the day, and very often rescue Olive Oyl from a dire situation. 70 Jahre nach dem Tod seines Schöpfers erlangte der Spinat vertilgende Matrose 2009 Gemeinfreiheit in vielen Ländern.

He slams the heavy object down on Popeye's head, yanks Olive up, and informs her, "I'm taking that job, and you, too, cutie!" The artwork was streamlined and simplified for the television budgets, and 220 cartoons were produced in only two years, with the first set of them premiering in the autumn of 1960, and the last of them debuting during the 1961–1962 television season. Because Segar was an employee of King Features Syndicate when he created the Popeye character for the company's Thimble Theatre strip, Popeye is treated as a work for hire under US copyright law.
