Even comic strip characters have interesting backstories, for instance Popeye was first created in 1919 though his love interest, Olive Oyl, was introduced 10 years before him. Popeye was based on a real person, a retired eccentric sailor the strip's creator once knew. The Smurfs were created in Belgium in 1958 and might have stayed there if they hadn't caught the eye of Hannah-Barbera, though it wasn't produced in the US until 1981.
