Castor is the quick-witted yet diminutive adventuring older brother of Olive Oyl, and both are the children of Cole Oyl and his wife Nana. Castor was originally an opportunistic adventurer who always tried to make money in any way he could, but, as time went by, he ended up finding his true calling as a detective, eventually becoming the head of his own agency. He debuted in Thimble Theatre on January 14, 1920. Castor was the main protagonist of the strip for years before the first appearance of the Popeye character in January, 1929. Castor Oyl continued to be an important character in Segar's Popeye strip, but played little role, if any, in the Popeye cartoons. His most prominent and only notable animated appearance in animation was as a member of Popeye's orchestra in the 1935 short The Spinach Overture."@en . "Sweet Haven"@en . "Castor Oyl"@en .
