History Recap / Popeye

* The Fistic Mystic: Modern airings edit out a scene in the beginning featuring a Blackface chauffeur escorting Popeye and Olive Oyl. Even with the edit it is very rarely aired.

* She-Sick Sailors: First of 4 Popeye cartoons to have their story written by Creator/OttoMessmer.

* Customers Wanted: Clip show episode, reuses footage from "Let's Get Movin'" and "The Twisker Pitcher." First Popeye where Pinto Colvig (formerly the voice of WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} at Disney) voices Bluto. PublicDomain.

* Wotta Nitemare: This short is a nightmarish throwback to the early days of Fleischer Studios, especially odd considering that they were pushing to imitate Disney during this time period.

* Kickin' the Conga 'Round (there's a title that [[OpiumDen gets 'crap' past the radar]]..)

* It's the Natural Thing to Do: PublicDomain and notable for having Jack Mercer [[TalkingToHimself voice Popeye and Bluto]].
