Wimpy was the genial sidekick created to balance Popeye's feisty antics by cartoon creator E.C. Segar
In reality, J. Wellington Wimpy honored Segar's mentor who paid for his cartoon correspondence classes when the aspiring cartoonist was still in high school
He likely ran a tab at the Chester, IL tavern for all the hamburgers Segar was sent to pick-up
Microtext reads: i'll gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.
