Another one about the war, 29 August 2004

This cartoon with Popeye the Sailor is another cartoon made when the United States were in a war with Japan. It is a racist cartoon, but you can not really judge it that way since it was made back then. Even today people make fun of people when they are in war with them.

Popeye is fighting the war against the Japanese but he gets a furlough. When he gets home all he wants to do is rest a little but that seems impossible. First Olive hits him a couple of times with the car and then his nephews show him their own "Home Defense Program". They show him and also test it on him making sure he will not rest very much.

The racist part is in the middle where the nephews ask Popeye whether he killed some Japanese people (Japs). The nephews impersonate the Japanese in a racist way, but I have to say it is also a very funny part. Other parts are pretty nice as well since Popeye is the biggest victim here. This time spinach can not save him. Entertaining enough.
