Popeye's Duds Too Small For Big Bluto
14 January 2009
I think the funniest part of this cartoon was seeing Bluto dressed in Popeye's sailor outfit. The pants came up to his knees, like knickers, and he looked pretty funny. Bluto's Army digs, meanwhile, were about eight sizes to big for Popeye.

Why did they switch uniforms? Well, it wasn't Popeye's idea. He was just strolling by the Army Tank Corps tents all dressed up with a handful flowers walking to his date with Olive Oyl. Bluto, inside the barracks and wanting to get out for the day, lures the dumb sailor guy in, mugs him, and takes his clothes.

Soon, a tank drill is ordered and Popeye winds up inside the big vehicle....and trouble ensues. Within several minutes, he leads the rest of the group through the city streets and trashes the vehicle....but all works out in the end.

How does that happen? Well, you'll have to check out Disc 2 of Popeye The Sailor Man Volume 3.
