Olive was created by E. C. Segar and is said to have been inspired by real-life Chester, Illinois local Dora Paskel. Olive would make her debut in the first strip of Thimble Theatre, dated December 19, 1919, as a nondescript "actress" who, alongside fellow protagonist Harold Hamgravy (eventually "Ham Gravy"), acted as a cipher whose age, appearance and identity were heavily dependent upon the theatrical idioms a given day's strip was lampooning.
