It’s a bit problematic to say that Segar launched Brutus. Segar created the character of Bluto, but King Features Syndicate did not remember this, and thought that he was a creature of the Fleischer Studios. Under the arrangement with Paramount, this would have made Bluto a Paramount property. So KFS told Sangendorf to create a Bluto-clone, who was named “Brutus”. Later, when it was discovered that Bluto had been created by Segar, Brutus was taken to be an alias for Bluto.
