Fleischer's Tabletop process is used while Popeye walks Olive's dog down the street. The cels are animated vertically between set pieces, in order to create the feeling of depth. The whole effect is lost in the color version, as the backgrounds are a flat redraw.
One of the few times any of the characters is shown with a pet. Fluffy, Eugene, and Popeye's sassy parrot are about all that were introduced.
Bluto's dog is the animation villain of choice, a sinister looking bulldog. Every animation studio has a version of this canine.
One of a number of Popeye shorts that were sent to Asia in the 1980s to undergo a redraw and colorization process.
