The
year is 1929, January 17th, to be exact. A 10-year-old
comic strip by Elzie Seagar: "The Thimble Theatre",
which originally revolved around Olive Oyl's
family, entertained a new character, not too
brilliant, not too handsome, not too strong
- it was a sailor, standing in the harbor -
to the question: "ARE YOU A SAILOR" he replied:
"Ja THINK I'M A COWBOY" - He was hired - and
slowly, but surely, got read of most of the
old characters in the strip and received the
lead together with his love - from those days
till today - Ms. Oyl.
