In this early cheater cartoon, a kid is made mock of for reading a Popeye comic book. Popeye animates from the cover of the magazine and shows clips from some of his earlier cartoons.
Comic books began as reprints of comic strips, like Elzie Segar's THIMBLE THEATER, in which Popeye appeared. It was about the time that this cartoon came out that original comic books began to appear, and many of them were based on characters that appeared in movie cartoons.
Most of the original work in this one consists of the Popster saying, effectively "Do you remember this one" and leaping into the cartoon frame. It was certainly cheaper than animating a seven-minute cartoon.
