Creation and development in Thimble Theatre
The final recurring character conceived by Thimble Theatre creator E.C. Segar prior to his hospitalization (and eventual death) in 1938, Poopdeck Pappy debuted in the 1936 storyline "The Search for Popeye's Poppa". In said story, Popeye utilized the supernatural orienteering abilities of Eugene the Jeep to locate his long-lost father, whose whereabouts the sailor (contrary to numerous early 1930s strips in which he declares himself to have been "borned an orfink") had striven to discover sinc...
Fleischer Studios
As Popeye's popularity greatly grew, he would be given his own animated adaptation by Fleischer Studios. Poopdeck Pappy made his first animated appearance in the short Goonland (1938), notable as the final short produced by the studio before its ill-fated move to Miami. In this short film, it is revealed that Popeye has a long-lost father, not seen since infancy, who (instead of quietly subsisting on a remote island) is being held captive in the bizarre realm of Goon Island. When he goes to r...
Famous Studios
Following the takeover of the Popeye animated franchise by Paramount Studios in 1942, Famous Studios made drastic changes which abandoned almost all traces of Thimble Theatre and focused largely on plots involving Popeye, Olive and Bluto in something resembling a love triangle, without many other characters appearing and with very few shorts deviating from that setup. As such, Poopdeck Pappy was largely absent, but would end up being the only other Thimble Theatre character besides Wimpy and...
Popeye is the spitting image of Poopdeck Pappy, though Pappy has a white beard and wrinkles near his eyes. His attire is also identical to his son's, except his color is duller and he doesn't wear a belt which makes his pants appear loose and baggy. Like his son, he also has a signature pipewhich he toots as well, although Pappy continued to utiliz...
Despite he and his son being physically identical, Poopdeck is far less principled, noble and honest than his son, doing such underhanded things as stealing from Popeye's bank account, picking on children, being a heavy drinker and partier, avoiding work, and trying to sell water for $5,000 in Death Valley. There is no love lost between him and Oli...
Past
Many years ago, Poopdeck Pappy was a sailor who fell for an unnamed woman and the two would conceive a son who was eventually born during a typhoon in Santa Monica. They then named their newborn offspring Popeye. Shortly after his son's birth, Poopdeck set sail from his home and was never seen again, having become shipwrecked on a Barnacle Island where he would spend his days flirting with mermaids. His disappearance left the young Popeye without a father and Poopdeck's child would then devot...
The Search for Popeye's Poppa
After Popeye acquired the mysterious Eugene the Jeep, he decided to use the creature's supernatural knowledge to find his father. An expedition was set up to go to Poopdeck's home on Barnacle Island, which included Toar the caveman, Alice the Goon, Wimpy, Rough House and Olive Oyl. The ungrateful father answered Popeye's greeting with, "You look like something the cat dragged in... I don't like relatives." He came to Popeye's home anyway, followed by some mermaids whom he had flirted with.
According to several 1930s Thimble Theatre strips (and subsequent animated adaptations), Pappy is 99 years old (indicating him to have sired Popeye in his mid-late 50s).
