Poopdeck Pappy

Before Famous Studios gradually reduced the Popeye series to a marshmallow-soft snoozer, the Fleisher brothers were still pumping adrenaline into it, and in some of the best entries, they abandoned the "Help, Popeye" rut in favor of focusing on some of the great Thimble Theater supporting characters. In this one, our hero is trying fruitlessly to keep his scrappy Pappy from going out on the town and picking fights. Solid entertainment. And we can only imagine how ornery Pappy will someday be when Popeye eventually decides to dump him in a nursing home!

Pappy is 99 years old and tries to escape bedtime. Popeye will have non of it. Pappy does manage to escape but Popeye is able to track him down. Pappy escapes again and this time, causes a riot in a bar which Popeye has to clean up.

I love Pappy and Popeye is funny in this. This relationship is more real than one expects. This is one of the funnier Popeye shorts. The title is called "With Poopdeck Pappy" instead. I hope it's the right one. It's certainly one of the better ones.

This is a funny little cartoon from the Fleischer Studios and I never knew that Popeye had a father before!! Well.......I mean, at least in his animated cartoons. This is the first cartoon that I have seen that had the Pappy character in it and he is hilarious in it. In fact, Pappy steals the cartoon from his more famous son, Popeye. Did Pappy get to be in any other cartoons?? I will have to search for them as I like him!! The cartoon is about Popeye trying to get his 99 year old father to go to bed and the old guy just ain't a-going!! Pappy out-tricks Popeye at every turn. I gotta tell ya, for a 99 year old man, Pappy sure does get around!! All the old guy wants to do is go out to a beer joint and have a dance or two with the gals. His first dance is funny, especially when he swings his partner at the end of the dance number. You gotta see it to believe it.

When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious like the Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

Popeye's father is a high energy, stubborn being. Popeye wants him home because he is too old to be partying late at night. No matter what the son does, the old guy seems to get away. It ends up in a saloon where Pappy antagonizes everyone there. When Popeye arrives, he has a lot of cleaning up to do. That, of course, involves the used of spinach.
