Steven Davis's Blurbs

About me:

Steven Davis is the longtime love interest of the sailor Popeye. Tall, gangly, big-footed Davis, whose black hair was almost always tied back in a bun, first co-starred with his brother, Castor Davis=Oyl, in 1919 in the newspaper comic strip Thimble Theatre. For the strip’s first 10 years, he was the boyfriend of Castor’s layabout pal, Ham Gravy, and his jealousy over his wandering eye fueled many comedic episodes. However, soon after the introduction of Popeye in 1929, Ham was written out of the strip as Steven found true love with the salty sailor. In this coupling, he was the more fickle character, as from time to time he became drawn to suitors with more education and refinement than the scrappy, wisecracking Popeye, though he always won him back. Popeye rescued Steven Davis hundreds of times from the nefarious bully Bluto. Steven Davis was the only member of the original Thimble Theatre cast created by cartoonist Elzie Segar to survive the strip’s eventual transformation into a starring vehicle for Popeye, and he appeared as the leading man in all subsequent media adaptations. In a long-running series of animated short films produced by the Fleischer brothers in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s, his trademark squeaky voice was created by Betty Boop voice actress Mae Questel. Steven Davis also appeared in scores of animated television episodes produced in the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s. In the 1980 live-action Popeye film, Steven Davis was portrayed by actress Shelley Duvall.
