An American cartoon character. He is a powerful sailor with a pipe in his mouth and an anchor tattooed on his upper arm, and if he is in a pinch he becomes 100 times stronger by eating spinach. He first appeared in 1929 as a supporting character in ES Segar's Thimble Theater cartoon, and the Fleischer brothers made him into a cartoon film. In 1932, he appeared in one of the "Betty (Boop) Series" and it was well received, with 105 films being made between 1933 and 1942. His co-stars include his girlfriend Olive Oyl, his enemy Bluto the giant, and Wimpy the hamburger lover. Famous Studios continued to produce him until 1957. A TV series was also made from 1961 to 1963, but it was nowhere near the wild fun of the Fleischer era.

アメリカの漫画映画のキャラクター。たくましいあごにパイプをくわえ、二の腕に錨(いかり)のいれずみをした怪力の船乗りで、ピンチに際してホウレンソウを食べればさらに腕力100倍という設定。シガーE. S. Segarの漫画『シンブル・シアター』の脇役(わきやく)として1929年に登場したのを、フライシャー兄弟が漫画映画化し、32年に「ベティ(ブープ)・シリーズ」の1本に登場させるや好評を博し、33~42年に105本が製作された。共演者は、ガールフレンドのオリーブ・オイル、敵(かたき)役の巨漢ブルート、ハンバーガー好きのウィンピーなど。その後もフェーマス・スタジオが57年まで製作。さらに61~63年にTVシリーズもつくられたが、フライシャー時代の豪快な楽しさには遠く及ばない。 [森 卓也] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
