Classic Cartoon Showcase: Popeye in Puttin' on the Act

In this humorous classic, Olive shows Popeye a newspaper headline declaring that vaudeville is coming back, upon which they decide to rekindle their(somewhat ridiculous) vaudeville act...but how will they fare with it? Please enjoy! (Watch for a couple of cute moments where Swee' Pea switches the cue card, and an amusing moment where Popeye impersonates such comics of the time as Jimmy Durante, Stan Laurel, and Groucho Marx.)

Little did we know that Popeye and Olive had an old vaudeville act, incidentally.

Classic Cartoon Showcase: Popeye in We're on Our Way to Rio

In this nifty little classic, Popeye and Bluto take a vacation to Rio, where they both end up falling for samba dancer Olive. Hoping to ruin Popeye's chances with her, Bluto tells Olive that Popeye is a champion samba dancer.Can Popeye make good his dancing skills in time to stop Bluto? Please enjoy!(Fun Fact: This was the last Popeye cartoon made by Fleischer Studios.)

 

Say, Popeye and Olive are pretty good. Wouldn't they be great on Dancing With the Stars?(Honestly, they'd sure have my vote! :-D)

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore:Looney Limericks by Frank Jacobs

Ooh...bummer for that guy!

 

 

A collection of humorous limericks(including a few by the limerick king himself, Edward Lear) starring such unforgettable folks as the young man from Bengal who goes to a fancy dress ball garbed as a hamburger bun(with an outcome he didn't forsee...), the old man of Blackheath who accidentally sits on his false teeth(YEOWCH!), the knowing young raccoon who doesn't believe in the moon, the young woman of Niger who takes a ride on the back of a tiger(This won't end well...), the skunk from the dell who dislikes people because of their smell(Wow, how hypocritical is that?), the spotted hyena who takes an aardvark named Lena to the dance, the barber from Bahavia who has his hands full when a large brown bear comes into his shop, and the snail and the tortoise who brag to each other about how fast they are. If you like wacky limericks, this is the book for you!

 

 

Here are a couple of my faves:

 

 



 

As the ever quotable Snoopy once said, "Wouldn't that just unplug your heating pad?"

 

Hmm, he spoils those horses...and doesn't spoil himself enough! :-D
