Private Snafu

Do you remember?

Private Snafu is the title character of a series of black-and-white American instructional cartoon shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. The films were designed to instruct service personnel about security, proper sanitation habits, booby traps and other military subjects, and to improve troop morale. Primarily, they demonstrate the negative consequences of doing things wrong.

Popeye The Sailor

"No matter what day..No matter what time.. There is always time for Popeye!"

The true account of the making of the film "Popeye" starring Robin Williams and directed by Robert Altman. The movie is nowhere near as bad as you may have heard and the book is fun if you are into "behind the scenes" stories. Over 200 photos.

Popeye For President 1956

Popeye and Bluto are both running for the office of president!
They are tied, with exactly the same number of votes!

Go figure!

But wait, that sex queen Miss Olive Oyl, has yet to cast her ballot!
I wonder.....just which candidate will be able to impress her the most and earn her....
 precious vote?

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.
