Fighting With Octopuses
Octopi? Octopodes? Never mind. Popeye and Bluto are deep-sea divers in this one. Popeye has a map leading to treasure and proposes to cut in Bluto 50-50. Bluto agrees and knocks the Popster for a loop and steals the map.
There's a lot of cheating going on in this cartoon. That;s cheating in the animation sense, by repeating actions in a loop, which occurs a couple of times. Usually this was done to reduce the cost of making the cartoon: instead of doing 7 minutes worth of cels, the staff could cut it down by as much as 10% here. In addition, the gags are less amusing than usual, more aimed at advancing the plot... although there are a couple of very funny ones, resulting in a solid episode in the long-running series.
