Did You Know That During WWII........ The Popeye cartoons reached new heights of popularity and were regularly used to boost U.S. morale, partially because a handful of Popeye cartoons during the war years were incredibly racially offensive towards the Japanese. For instance, in the cartoons, the Japanese are referred to as “jap-pansies” and portrayed with vicious, buck-toothed faces, sporting thick glasses. A “banned” racist World War II Popeye cartoon called “Seein’ Red, White ‘n Blue” has the unique historical distinction of being the only Popeye where Bluto and Popeye join forces and gulp down a shared can of spinach to beat up on Japanese soldiers.

Private Snafu

A bit before my time! Wow!!!!
The things you can find while surfing  the Public Domain!
"Spies" is a classic wartime propaganda cartoon shown only to soldiers as part of their training.
Private Snafu sure sounds alot like Bugs Bunny!

Little Lulu Moppet

 Who remembers Little Lulu Cartoons? Just a bit before my time, perhaps yours too? The one above is from 1946.

According to Wikipedia..... Little Lulu is the nickname for Lulu Moppet, a comic strip character created in 1935 by Marjorie Henderson Buell.
She debuted in The Saturday Evening Post on 23 February 1935 in a single panel, appearing as a flower girl at a wedding and strewing the aisle with banana peels.
 The Little Lulu panel continued to run weekly in The Saturday Evening Post......
 until 30 December 1944.

After all these years Little Lulu still has many fans and her products, are still in demand.
Some of the collectables that were saved, are still  commanding top dollar, even if only in fair shape.
