Let us all be eternally thankful to Cartoon Network's off shoot channel, Boomerang,which airs long forgotten "old school" animation from the early 1930's to (mostly)the late 1950's (is there anybody else out there who's ever heard of the M-G-M series, 'The Captain & The Kids'?). This WWII black & white short is a fast paced cartoon about Popeye having his uniform switched by Bluto & ending up in the Army Tank Corps (which once and for all flushes the whole Military Intelligence concept right down the toilet). The short is full of the usual puns & one liners that one has to listen close, unless they want to miss them (and there are a few of the usual in-jokes that cartoons of that era were known for). My question is, is there really that strong of a prejudice for black & white films as there is (and why has this stuff not turned up on a DVD of the Paramont Fleisher/Famous film shorts of that era)?
