This Cartoony Life 1
Last night after a smashing dinner party at Alli's, the Milkman and myself downed two pitchers at Socrates Newtowne with two previously unmentioned friends, Andy and Michelle. We spent an inordinate amount of time talking about cartoon conventions like this one. I was giddy.
So giddy, in fact, that Jon and I spent 3 hours today watching old-time cartoons, including Felix, Casper, Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jeckle, Woody and Daffy (while they were still nuts.) There was also Donald Duck in a terrifying piece of WWII propaganda (the narrator kept saying "your taxes can bury The Axis" with backdrops of American bombers and battleships kicking ass.)
I think the hands-down favorite of the day was Popeye. This shit is too funny! Please check it out and tell me if you don't crack a wee smile.
I can't decide on my favorite part:
-Olive Oyl turning Popeye's picture around while she's changing.
-Popeye eating spinach so he can say 'I do.'
-Olive's children burning her alive on a stake.
-0:19 until the end.

Well, I think Popeye took the breaking of the engagement very well.
I know, right? Olive Oyl needs some lessons in how to break an engagement without dropping furniture on heads.
cartoon food almost always looks impossibly delicious. i know that this is subjective depending on the viewer and thus sort of transcends the self-contained world of cartoon conventions, but i'm hungry.
olive regained her figure back really quickly after having twins, that's impressive.
also, i agree with milkman. truth be told, popeye cartoons were the only way my parents could get me to eat spinach. especially spinach from a can (ew).
jo- did you want some cake? you can tell me.
a- thanks for the preggers perspective. spinach is good if it's uncanned.
Perhaps the twins picked up an infection from the matching tattoos they got at age four. Olive Oyl, that's just irresponible parenting.
so long as it's not an explosion-prone birthday cake that you've siphoned gas into, i'm game.
c- don't judge until you have one. April's baby has 4 piercings in his nose and a raging addiction to meth.
j- um, just one slice dude. it's fine.
