Wimpy debuted in the strip in 1931 and was one of the dominant characters in the newspaper strip, but whenPopeyewas adapted as an animated cartoon series byFleischer Studios, Wimpy became a minor character;Dave Fleischersaid that the character in the original Segar strip was "too smart" to be used in the film cartoon adaptations.
