Day 22 - Popeye

The character of Popeye was created by Elzie Crisler Segar, an American cartoonist from the town of Chester, Illinois. In 1919, the draughtsman created a comic strip in New York's Evening Journal, called Thimble Theatre. In 1929, Popeye made his debut as a new character in the strip. Below are several photos I took in town
