Created by E.C. Segar in 1929, Popeye will celebrate his 75th Anniversary all year long in 2004.
With his gal Olive Oyl at his side this upstanding character made his debut in the Thimble Theater comic strip. Soon thereafter, Popeye became a hero on the big screen. Today there are well over 600 cartoons, many of which are still shown regularly on TV around the world.
He's strong to the finish
'cause he eats his spinach
he's Popeye the Sailorman!
Ceramic cookie jar is a large bust of Popeye with a base of colorful cartoon images. Featured in full-color around the base are Swea-Pea, Bluto, Olive Oyl, Wimpy, Jeep, and Popeye himself. The Popeye bust is in black-and-white, but Popeye's pipe is silver-toned. Popeye's head and shoulders remove for access to the cookie storage.
Limited edition, numbered cookie jar is hand painted. Base measures approximately 9 by 6.5 inches at the widest points. There is approximately 4.5 inches of cookie storage inside, and the entire jar measures 12.5 inches tall to the top of Popeye's hat. Toot-toot!
