Popeye enters his second decade with his Golden Age firmly behind him, yet production at the Miami Fleischer studio kicks up: fifteen cartoons were released this year! At this point the established directors and storymen lose their way, while lots of new crews work try their hand at Popeye (and fail). This star-studded year sees the return of Poopdeck Pappy and Eugene the Jeep, and the debut of Popeye's quadruplet nephews (as his sons). But it's new-to-series legends like Shamus Culhane and Bill Nolan who find interesting things to do with the sailor and his kin and turn out the best entries this season.
Cartoons discussed: Shakespearean Spinach, Females is Fickle, Stealin' Ain't Honest, Me Feelins Is Hurt, Onion Pacific, Wimmin Is a Myskery, Nurse-Mates, Fightin' Pals, Doing Impossikible Stunts, Wimmin Hadn't Oughta Drive, Puttin' on the Act, Popeye Meets William Tell, My Pop, My Pop, With Poopdeck Pappy, and Popeye Presents Eugene the Jeep.
