Is There No Balm In Gilead? Is There No Spinach In Africa?
Popeye bids a fond farewell to Bluto as the latter heads off for an African expedition by punching him in the belly. Bluto responds sentimentally by throwing an anchor at the sailor man. When word comes that Bluto is lost, Popeye heads off to Africa himself to rescue his pal. Besides, he is lonely and yearning for a fight.
Not only does this cartoon expertly mock the previous year's STANLEY AND LIVINGSTON, it offers an unforeseen take on the relationship between the two guys. Add in the usual unlikely gags, and you have one of the best Popeye cartoons from the Fleischer years. A tremendous amount of fun.
