Popeye the Sailor Man

Popeye the Sailor Man

Popeye the Sailor Man has been a favorite animated cartoon character for over seventy five years.

For 75 years, generations have viewed the comedic actions of a unique figure in film history, Popeye the Sailor man. The spinach-eating swab was created for the "Thimble Theatre" comic strip in 1929 by E.C. Segar.

The Fleischer Studios, unlike other cartoon studios during the early 1930's, illustrated the darker, meaner streets of New York City.

"Betty Boop" was born from that era and Max Fleischer who was a great fan of "Thimble Theatre," plucked Popeye, Olive Oyl and Bluto from the funny papers putting each into one animated film.

On July 14th, 1933, the comic strip trio appeared in one of the Betty Boop entries titled, "Popeye the Sailor."

Betty was used just briefly on screen as the film was designed to see if the sailor, who was a big hit with depression era audiences in newspapers, could translate that popularity to the big screen. Popeye, his cohort, Olive Oyl and nemises Brutus live one.

Popeye passed the test and his own series began three months later.

Popeye was promptly arrested at his California mansion and falsely charged with child neglect, illegal possession of firearms, assault, battery, destruction of city property, unauthorized use of lethal force, and manslaughter. The sailor was order to pay a record fine of $1 million United States dollars in damages for the destruction he caused and serve 6 sessions of anger management, or go to a state penitentary for the next 6-8 months. But this incident was actually done by Bluto, who posed as Popeye to rape Olive Oyl (and eventually killed her). All charges on Popeye were dropped (he was exonerated though), and Bluto was sentenced to reclusion temporal.

The video is actually done by one of Bluto's friends so that he can get away with Olive.

The Tweety Bird baby shower theme has been used by several celebrity moms in recent years.

As unusual as a Looney Tunes theme may seem, who are we to argue with movie stars who have the funds to hire professional party planners that have access to any kind of party supplies and decorations in the world? Besides, I’ve always been rather fond of Tweety Bird and find the prospect of decorating with those bright yellow, orange and blue colors rather cheerful.

The problem with using cartoon characters as a theme is that you have to be very careful or you will end up with way too many pictures of your chosen character and few options of ways to balance things out in an appealing way. In a small area, a single centerpiece displaying your themed motif might be all that’s necessary. In a large area, you may need several focal points to successfully decorate the venue for your Tweety Bird baby shower theme.

Winnie the Pooh and His Friends

Winnie the Pooh and His Friends

Winnie the Pooh’s blog would be the kind of blog that would say a lot but never really say anything. You might read each post a hundred times to find the hidden meaning in it. There would be some wisdom in every post but in order to understand it you would always have to look through what is being said.

Piglet
Piglet is a nice guy, he is just not very sure of himself. His blog would reflect that. Every post would have some form of self doubt and lack confidence. Piglet would never want to offend anyone and in trying to please everyone would not take a stand on much.

Tigger
Tigger’s blog would never say much of anything, but would say it a lot. Actually Tigger would probably not have a blog, but would be the one most likely to use Twitter. 140 characters is all he would ever need and he could post all the time.

Rabbit
Rabbit’s blog would be the bossiest of the group. He is the ultimate authority on everything and he would make sure the world would know what his opinion is. He might not always be right, but he would be quite certain about himself.

Eeyore
Eeyor’s blog would be depressing to read plain and simple. He would have no subscribers and quit after a week or two because no one was reading.

Christopher Robin
Christopher Robin’s blog would be the most rounded blog of them all. It would be full of good advice on whatever topic he was writing about. His blog would be the only blog you would want to always read.
