Popeye - "Blunder Below"

I'm going to break up the Famous Studios backgrounds posts as it's taking me forever to organize all the frame grabs. I'll post some more of them in a day or two, hopefully you'll find them of interest. Anyway, I haven't really posted much of anything Popeye related so I figure I'll start with one of my favorite Popeye shorts, "Blunder Below" which was animated/directed by Dave Tendlar and released in 1942. Also, here's a really great model sheet from the same year. I'm don't know who drew it but those are some great poses.

I have some Fleischer Popeye related modelsheets.
Now that I have a high-speed connection, I'd be willing to send some your way.
Might be a good way to celebrate the upcoming DVD release.

Sweet! I have some but I don't think they're from any cartoon in particular, maybe not even from the studio. I don't know where they're from. I love them, I was going to post those crappy ones when the DVD came out if you've got good ones I'd love it. Thanks pal!

I would be super stoked if you could post more Popeye model sheets.
