This statue was dedicated in 2021.
HAROLD HAMGRAVY- Ham is one of the four characters to be introduced in Elzie Segar’s first published Thimble Theatre cartoon on Dec. 19, 1919. He became the on-and-off-again boyfriend of Olive Oyl and was quickly written out of the script once Popeye arrived on the scene. Harold’s statue was erected in 2021 on the opposite street corner as his former girl, Olive, where she seems to have effectively kicked him to the curb. It is fitting that they both stand before the Randolph County Court House, for COURTing is as far as they ever made it as a couple.
