Elzie Crisler Segar (/ˈsiːɡɑːr/;[1] December 8, 1894 – October 13, 1938), known by the pen name E. C. Segar, was an American cartoonist. He created Popeye in 1929, introducing the character in his comic strip Thimble Theatre.[2][3]
Charles M. Schulz said of Segar's work: "I think Popeye was a perfect comic strip, consistent in drawing and humor".[4] Carl Barks described Segar as "the unbridled genius as far as I was concerned".[5]
