J. Wellington Wimpy, With Hamburger, 13" Stuffed TV Series (Popeye) Plush Pal This plush has been out of any protective packaging, found no damage, but was definitely around a cat at some point as I had to use a lint roller to remove the hairs that were on him. J. Wellington Wimpy, generally referred to as Wimpy, is a character in the comic strip Popeye, created by E. C. Segar, and in the Popeye cartoons based upon the strip. Wimpy debuted in the strip in 1931 and was one of the dominant characters in the newspaper strip, but when Popeye was adapted as an animated cartoon series by Fleischer Studios, Wimpy became a minor character; Dave Fleischer said that the character in the original Segar strip was "too smart" to be used in the film cartoon adaptations. Wimpy appears in Robert Altman's 1980 live-action musical film Popeye, played by Paul Dooley.
