George W. Geezil

George W. Geezil

George W. Geezil, also known as simply Geezil, was a comic-strip character created by E.C. Segar for the Thimble Theater strips.

Comics

Geezil made his first appearance in the strips in 1932, as an unnamed patron in Roughhouse's cafe. He re-appeared in 1933 as a Cobbler and regular customer of Roughhouse who held a dislike for J. Wellington Wimpy, although until his fifth appearance, he went unnamed.

Over time, he was named Mr. Geezer, Mr. Geezle, George G. Geezil and eventually George W. Geezil by 1935 in his 33rd appearance.

Other Appearances

Geezil made a handful of appearances in the Popeye cartoons, including "A Clean Shaven Man" (1936, nonspeaking role), "Olive's Boithday Presink" (1941), and "Wimpy the Moocher" (1960).

In the 1980 "Popeye (film)" film, Geezil was a greengrocer who was constantly arguing with Wimpy, but the two maintained a shaky friendship. Geezil was played by Richard Libertini.
