Dang...Popeye too?!? I haven't put out a cartoon in a while, and I'm all about cartoons. So here's an old white supremacist Popeye cartoon from 1945. See, the cool thing to me about cartoons is that they really give you a unique insight into the artistic and cultural attitudes of the time. Even more so than film or television does, just because cartoons can be so "out there"...completely imaginative works of art. So this cartoon really says something about 1945 WWII years America. It's along the same lines of previous episodes (8 and 18...really all of the cartoons previously released on this podcast share similar qualities) with the silly looking, donut-mouthed black people. And in this episode, navy war hero, the all-American Popeye whoops up on a whole tribe! So I had to share this one. Dang...you too Popeye? Peace.
