'''J. Wellington Wimpy''', generally referred to as '''Wimpy''', is a character in the [[comic strip]] ''[[Popeye (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 (film)|Popeye]],'' played by [[Paul Dooley]].
