Where Poopdeck Pappy is the king os a desrt island worshipped by the Natives. Bones in the nose, Ooga Booga dialoque etc. Poeye starts to take his Dad home, then they have to eat spinach to put the natives in thier place. In the 50s yet! I guess Africa was still mostly still the dark continent.

That sounds like "Goonland" (1938), not the 1950s. |

Great cat picture, though. I like cats. They're not afraid to enjoy themselves. |

I second that. Cats are great. They don't give a shit what anyone thinks. |

Strictly speaking, Poopdeck Pappy was in the Goonland jail and they weren't cannibals. But I seem to remember a much later one with the outrageous stereotype cannibals and Poopdeck Pappy as their monarch; it was pulled from syndication eons ago. |

I love dogs, too. But the saying is true: "Cats rule and dogs drool." |

I saw it on TV, being old enough to remember live kiddie show hosts unspooling the same stock of cartoons over and over. In the Bay Area, "Mayor Art" presided over a mock city hall and ran Popeye cartoons, with the occasional Superman (the one with the giant mummy bodyguards haunted me). In time the hosted shows all faded away, but we still had slots of solid Popeye, Looney Tunes, and Three Stooges. The Popeye half-hour sadly confined itself to the later color stuff; the very rare B&W classic appeared to be accidental. |

Okay, this has been makin' me crazy, so I did some research and here you are: It's Popeye's Pappy, 1952. It was a remake of Goonland. You're welcome. |

Apparently, you are the only one, LG. The rest of us were already there. |
