Wimpy

J. Wellington Wimpy, generally referred to as Wimpy, is one of the characters in the comic strip Popeye. Wimpy was a dominant character in the newspaper strip, but when Popeye was adapted as an animated cartoon series, Wimpy became a minor character. Hamburgers are Wimpy's favorite food, and he is usually seen carrying or eating one or more at a time. His famous catchphrase, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” started in 1932. This phrase is now commonly used to illustrate financial irresponsibility and still appears in modern comedies such as The Drew Carey Show and The Office.
