"Flesher's Margerine" is a cheap substitute for butter . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . and "Flesher's Animation" is a crass stand-in for cartoons. One can just picture the "brain-storming" session for the latter gang's ADVENTURES OF POPEYE. Greed-Head Number One says, "Why don't we duck some of the expenses required to churn out 8 minutes of 'new' entertainment by recycling 90 seconds or so from a couple of our OLD cartoons?" Mercenary bozo #2 exclaims "Great idea, J.R.! Let's double down, and slam together a minute and a half from EACH of FOUR 'moldy oldies'?" R.J. (aka, Penny-Pinching Bean Counter #3) then chimes in, "Eureka! Plus, we can scoop up some random, never-to-be-credited tyke from our back alley--oops, I mean 'Employee Day Care'--to exploit in brief live-action bridging snippets that we can shoot on the left over film spool remainders!" Few will view the ADVENTURES OF POPEYE without believing that these are actual, verbatim quotes from the Flesher Folks' production meeting which spawned this lazy trip down Memory's toll road.
