Subject: RE: BS - Popeye's weird 'pronunskiations'
My favorite line from the Popeye movie is something like "I pays me taxes, I expects a little cervix."

I think what makes the Popeye movie fascinating (not necessarily good) is they went back and tried to capture the flavor of the original comic strip. The early Fleischer Brothers, black and white Popeye cartoons were the best with the great animation and funny dialog. The one-plot Popeyes of the fifties and sixties were criminally bad.
