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.

In My Merry Oldsmobile.............Lyrics of song: "Young Johnnie Steele has an Oldsmobile, He loves a dear little girl, She is the queen of his gas machine, she has his heart in a whirl. Now, When they go for a spin, you know, She tries to learn the auto, so He lets her steer while he gets her ear, And whispers soft and low; CHORUS Come away with me Lucille In my merry Oldsmobile, Down the road of life we'll fly Automo-bubbling you and I. To the church we'll swiftly seal, Then our wedding bells will peal, You can go as far as you like with me, In my merry Oldsmobile. (Repeat) They love to spark in the dark old park, As they go flying along, She says she knows why the motor goes; The sparker's awfully strong. Each day they spoon to the engine's tune, Their honeymoon will happen soon, He'll win Lucille with his Oldsmobile And then he'll fondly croon;
