From Popeye the Sailor No. Art by George Wildman. The bottom Sunday panels, also by Winner and Sims, were published on November 26, The plotlines from both Sunday pages, involving Wimpy discovering a pearl in his food, were used in the Popeye the Sailor television cartoon called Wimpy the Moocher a scene of which is pictured at the right.
The film was produced by Paramount Cartoon Studios in Wimpy comes up with another scheme to obtain free food. Wimpy was based on a real person It is believed that Wimpy was based upon J.
William Schuchert who served as a model for J. We Aim to Please — Wimpy demonstrates to Bluto the art of obtaining a hamburger without the necessary fee. Bluto hates the music and attempts to get rid of them both until Popeye comes to the rescue.
He never seems to get inside of her house. The freeloader keeps borrowing pennies from Popeye and Bluto to view their films. He ends up smashing Popeye with two chairs and a table. However, Popeye pulls out his spinach and gives the phony sailor a sock. The impersonator is revealed wearing a corset and runs away.
Wellington Wimpy in the motion picture Popeye released in His memorable films in this television series include: Crystal Ball Brawl Larry Harmon, — Wimpy helps Popeye fight Brutus to stop the bully from stealing a magical crystal ball.
Egypt Us Gerald Ray, — Olive Oyl is in trouble, and Popeye instructs Wimpy to guard their hamburger lunch while he goes off to rescue her.
When Popeye and Olive return to eat lunch, they see Wimpy has consumed it all. The brute hopes to sell him as a circus attraction. Hamburger Fishing Jack Kinney, — Wimpy captures an enchanted cow to get hamburgers. He lets her go in exchange for three wishes. The Sea Hag captures Wimpy and wants him to wish for gold. He bets it all on a prizefight between Popeye and Kid Nitro. However, a teary-eyed Wimpy gives Popeye his spinach as an act of friendship. Wimpy the Moocher Paramount Cartoon Studios, — Wimpy plants a phony pearl in an oyster and cons Rough House into giving him 30 hamburgers.
So Wimpy and the one-eyed sailor compete in an eating duel. Wimpy would re-appear in IDW Publishing 's Popeye comics revival as a recurring character doing the thing he loved most once again, mooching.
Geezil also returned with as much intensity as in the old days. Wimpy is featured regularly in issues, and even gained his own foe in the form of " The Phantom Crusher ", a henchman of Geezil himself. Wimpy is a short round tubby gentleman who usually wears a simple suit consisting of a white dress shirt with a red tie, along with a jacket and matching pants along with brown shoes and belt.
The color of his jacket and pants often varies but, other than that, his attire remains consistently the same. He also has a small mustache composed of a few hairs, and another particular trait is that he rarely opens his eyes unless shocked or surprised.
Wimpy's most notable accessory is his brown bowler hat, which he often uses to hide a burger underneath. After a long burger binge, he can grow to excessive weights: in one Segar strip, he required the assistance of a wheelbarrow to carry his bloated stomach. In another, it was his butler Jeevie who provided this function. He is a master of disguise, using several fictitious personas to swindle Rough House and his patrons. Wimpy is Popeye's friend. He is highly intelligent and well educated, but very lazy and gluttonous.
Wimpy is also something of a scam artist and, especially in the comic strip, can be quite underhanded at times, employing over unique tactics to obtain free food from Rough House, and usually succeeding in the end.
Popeye and Wimpy function as a comedic duo: Wimpy is educated but morally deficient while, on the other hand, Popeye is good-natured but perpetually ignorant.
This dynamic contributes in part to their friendship, as neither would be the same without the other. Popeye often becomes angered at Wimpy's philosophic pondering and solipsism as well as his occasional fair-weathered nature and willingness to sell Popeye out in order to avoid danger himself , while Wimpy is disgusted by Popeye's physical nature and brute force approach. Wimpy's favorite dish is the hamburger, and he is usually seen contentedly munching on one, but is seldom willing to pay for them.
A recurring gag involves Wimpy's attempts to con other patrons of the diner into buying him his lunch. Wimpy often tries to outwit fellow restaurant-goers with his convoluted logic and various tactics. His famous line, which was first carried over into the cartoons in 's We Aim to Please , is " I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today " which carried over as lyrics to a song in the movie Popeye , "Everything Is Food". According to Rough House in one strip, he never comes around on Tuesday, and thus cannot pay his debt.
Wimpy had frequently used other lines in the original comic strip, usually uttered to someone or a group of people who are after him for some shenanigan he pulled. An example would be Wimpy trying to placate the angry person or mob by saying " I'd like to invite you over to my house for a duck dinner You bring the ducks!
Another line of his: " Jones is my name
