J. Wellington Wimpy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Wellington_Wimpy

Wimpy 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 more minor character; Dave Fleischer said that the character in the Segar strip was “too intellectual” to be used in film cartoons.

Wimpy loves to eat hamburgers, and is usually seen carrying or eating one or more at a time – e.g. in Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor he is seen grinding meat or eating burgers almost the entire time – however, he is usually too cheap to pay for them himself.

Side Note: When searching Google Images for “J. Wellington Wimpy,” I did not expect results to include pornographic fan art. But no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
