One of four 1930's Fleischer Popeye cartoons without the " shipdoor" opening.
As with most of the early Fleischer cartoons, there is careful and precise attention to background detail. Sagging shutters, cobbles on the street, bedroom curtains, gardens, street lamps, door knockers. And more!
Hamburgers were a popular meal across the U.S. at the time of this short, especially at new roadside diners built to attract motorists. Although the origins of the dish can be traced back to 18th century Europe, the identity of the original inventor of the modern U.S. dish remains rather ambiguous.
Popeye's room has a stuffed fish, a photo of a boxer, and, for some reason, an axe, hanging on the walls.
