wimpy
hamburgers are wimpy's all-time favorite food, and he 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. a recurring joke involves wimpy's attempts to con other patrons of the diner owned by rough house into buying his meal for him. his best-known catchphrase started in 1931 as, "cook me up a hamburger. i'll pay you thursday." in 1932, this then became the famous, "i'll gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today." rough house explains why wimpy is able to get away with this tactic in one strip, stating that "he never comes around on tuesday". rough house once suffered a mental breakdown from wimpy's shenanigans, and demanded that wimpy be kept out of his hospital room. wimpy disobeyed this command, resulting in a rare altercation with popeye. the phrase was also slightly altered in the episode "spree lunch" to "i'll have a hamburger, for which i will gladly pay you tuesday." 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". the initial part of the phrase was even the title of episode 6 of the fourth season of "cheers" "i'll gladly pay you tuesday."
