Poopdeck Pappy

Character

Description

Poopdeck Pappy is Popeye's gruff, mischievous father, first appearing in E.C. Segar's Thimble Theatre newspaper strip in 1936. Introduced as an elderly, irresponsible sailor who had abandoned his family decades earlier, he matched Popeye's toughness and willingness to fight despite his advanced age. He appeared in Dell and other Popeye comics adaptations and is one of the few family members introduced for Popeye during the original run of Segar's strip.
