Woe Is Me, Let Me Get My Cheaters On
20 November 2022
Here we have a typical example of a cheater cartoon: Popeye is at a teskimonial... a testimonial dinner with several Hollywood caricatures. He's asked to make a speech, but instead shows clips from his old cartoons.

The clips are from the earlier Famous Studios Popeyes, which means they are in color, but the quality of design and background art has not declined much from the Fleischer days. It's a cheap method of getting a new six-minute cartoon out of a couple of minutes of new work.

Some of the caricatures are Jimmy Durante, Bob Hope, and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Whoever did the voice work didn't try too hard to do a good imitation.
