Animator Max Fleischer brought Olive Oyl to the big screen in 1933, when he developed a cartoon from E.C. Slegar's popular comic strip Popeye, The Sailor Man. Olive is Popeye's love interest, a toothpick of a gal with dowdy clothes and big feet. Occasionally her affections stray toward that of Bluto, an abusive hulk who woos Olive with he-man muscularity (or kidnaps her outright). When Olive's flirtations with Bluto turn ugly, Popeye gives him a drubbing while Olive cheers from the sidelines. Often portrayed as flighty, flirty and fickle, Olive is Popeye's one true love. In later animated versions, Olive and Popeye appear as man and wife. Olive Oyl often takes care of the baby Swee' Pea, but it is unclear who the child's parents are.

In the strip as written by Segar, Olive was something of a coy flapper whose extremely thin build lent itself well to the fashions of the time; her long black hair was usually rolled in a neat bun, like her mother's. She was the more-or-less fiancée of Harold Hamgravy, a "lounge lizard" or slacker type who did as little work as possible and was always borrowing money. His attraction to other women, particularly if they were rich, naturally incensed Olive, and she once succumbed to a fit of "lunaphobia" (a kind of angry madness) over one of his amours. (When she recovered, she continued to pretend to have the disorder to win him back.) She was not immune to flattery from other men, but remained committed to Ham until Popeye's appearance. The two did not fall in love at once (her first words to him were "Aw, shut up, you bilge rat!"), but instead fought bitterly (and hilariously) for weeks, before realizing they cared for each other.
The version of Olive Oyl most widely familiar is the version from the theatrical animated cartoons, first created by Fleischer Studios, and then produced by Famous Studios. Unlike most modern damsels in distress, Olive Oyl is tall and skinny, with tightly wound hair and enormous feet (the latter sometimes used to comedy effect). Popeye's comment about her measurements is that she is a perfect 57... 19-19-19. In more recent years, her breast size has been somewhat of a joke on other cartoon shows, suggesting that Olive Oyl should receive breast implants.
