It’s from 1933: “I Yam What I Yam.”
The theme song is not what we’re used to. Watch carefully for the “unmute” (or if you miss that the speaker with the “x” icon) button at the top left, until you bring up the sound you can’t go full screen because the menu is hidden.
If WordPress doesn’t cooperate with your machine type 1933: “I Yam What I Yam” as a search item and pick the “Daily Motion” one.
Strangely, this is the second cartoon on this site, and I’m pretty sure they were both Popeye, posted by you,
that sometimes starts playing when I open the page…
I hear the music before I scroll anywhere near it!
Not every single time I refresh, but some of them,. especially if I’ve left and returned.
Another odd thing is that maybe a third of the time the video window says it can’t be played at all.
It’s not the soccer fans I’m saying don’t make sense here… though they don’t and probably can’t.
It’s that a soccer (aka association football) message magically pops up in an American cartoon from 40 or 50 years before most Americans had ever heard of the game, much less the names of any British clubs…
Plus the message is added in a style and font unknown in the 1930s.
Somebody tampered with Popeye!
I’m sure he wasn’t really an Arsenal fan! Not that I’m saying he’d object… he’d just shake his head.
Thanks for both of those.
For others, the bottom U.R.L. sums it up the best of the two, but there are conflicting stories from other sites about what was to happen to the car after it was “stolen” (but I still want to know what happened to Rosendo Cruz and his cohorts).
What’s kind of amazing is that the aliens aren’t slathering beasts, grabbing the astronautes, in the space suit made of a helmet, boots, and not much else.
Okay… Is everybody working on finding today’s nine differences?
The whole puzzle is kinda different…. the Cliffords are having a little walk on the weird side.
Nonetheless, one panel is just a bit different from the other, as usual…. And your mission, should you accept it… is to find the nine spots where that occurs.
It’s not impossible!
Don’t be afraid of the pirates or the monsters, or the silly sea serpents… They won’t bother you.
When you’ve found the differences, you can compare with what I’ve found….
Missed one, as usual. From my vantage point, Nighthawks consistently mislabels these as “Find the Nine Differences.” They should be “.. Eight Differences”, but he keeps slipping in an extra one just to mess with me.
That looks like the plan for LA’s drinking water. Having lived in Flint, MI, I want to send a warning to my LA friends: when “unreasonable” regulations are ignored there are consequences. There is an executive order to increase LA’s water supply “obeying all local regulations so long as they aren’t unreasonably burdensome”.
What happened in Flint: The state took over the cities finances (GM had shut down most operations there leading to a sudden loss of operating revenue for the city). A quick simple (seeming) win was to change the water supply. The cheaper water was being used in other communities so all the testing requirements were just “unreasonable regulations”, right? Flint has lots of lead plumbing. Lead becomes passivated by constant exposure to a fairly consistent water source. If the ph is changed, the passive layer is removed and the lead toxicity is reactivated.
There are no “unreasonable regulations” only painful lessons… trust the pros.
I have to wonder what kind of “phone” she had in her shoulder bag… cell phones were a far off dream, if anything, in 1965!
Dick Tracy’s 2 way wrist radios were still considered futuristic.
Even if she has a landline phone that she could plug in, in different locations… We didn’t have modular jacks or connectors in 1965. Most homes had one hard wired phone. A second or third one was also hard wired.
….
And a cap gun small enough to fit inside a compact for an 11″ doll, that actually works?? With miniature caps?
Wow.
That might be more collectible than the doll!
…..
A semantic pet peeve…. something often said, but that doesn’t make it right:
She is not wearing “leotards”. She may be wearing aleotard, which is a one piece garment, which may have sleeves, but not legs.
If they’ve pluralized it because they mean her leg covering, akin to trousers… they’re tights.
If it’s like a leotard, but also covers the legs, it can be a body suit or a unitard.
I first saw a car phone in 1987 or 88, when a real estate broker I worked for bought one… it was supposed to be a newer, smaller model.
He took me for a ride just to show it off.
It was attached to an antenna on the roof of the car. It was as big as… hmmm… a fair size toaster oven, maybe…. was very heavy, perhaps 20 pounds.
It had a receiver like a landline phone, with the same sort of stretchy coiled cord, so you didn’t have to pick up the whole thing… in fact you couldn’t because it was “installed” in a console between the front seats.
Calls were several dollars a minute, incoming or outgoing.
My regional manager in the chocolate company got one about 1992… It came in a suitcase you could carry with you, but was still about 10 pounds, and had the same coiled cord and receiver.
She’d get one of the guys to carry it from her car to our meetings. Calls were down to $2 a minute.
I first saw a car phone in a movie from that time period. I can’t remember which one. Maybe It’s a Mad Mad …. World? Or maybe a James Garner film? I remember a guy in a big white Cadillac Convertible talking on it… possibly a Texas millionaire? And maybe I’m just mixing up a bunch of scenes. Man that was a L O N G time ago.

“Open the pod bay door, Hal…”
That is lonely.
Loneliest man (not) on Earth…
Notice? It’s a lab.
.,
Whatever it does to them, it looks like they’re still safe to eat!
Why is the Chinese (kinda) looking guy going to eat that rat?
More Discworld. He’s really a Dwarf. Dwarves eat rats (with ketchup)
…
The best ever.
Yes to both.
Yes….
Back row: Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, Dan Ackroyd
Middle row: Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman
Bottom row: John Belushi, Bill Murray
I know this is not the first season…
PS… I did all that from memory… I think it’s all correct, but I apologize for any mistakes or misspellings.
I’ll check it later and correct it if I need to.
We didn’t get that show over here, but I recognised a couple of them straight off.
Where ya bin?
I had started an email to you, to ask.
I’m having a very VERY hard time avoiding politics these days. I’ve been staying away to self-censor.
can anyone track down the full cartoon on this one?
It’s from 1933: “I Yam What I Yam.”

thank you. I always felt the Max Fleischer Popyes were the best
Me too.

Weird!
Is the Indian cheering for “United” (Y-nighted?) making this a Soccer Gif?
Taking a screen snip…
He’s saying “Y’anited” and Popeye is saying “Arsenal” which makes your surmise accurate.
Which makes ‘United’ most probably “West Ham United”
But that makes no sense.
Somebody added that stuff.
You wouldn’t see anything about British football clubs in a 1930s American cartoon…
Not did they have that white lettering popping up in a modern font.
Who said Soccer fans had to make sense?
It’s not the soccer fans I’m saying don’t make sense here… though they don’t and probably can’t.

The attachment is from the photographer.
Was Jimmy Hoffa inside?
Some guy named Guido.
An only four year old Ferrari?
Not buried deep enough, or in a private enough location, to escape digging up by playing children?
I’d say nice find… Might be well worth cleaning up.
But I bet it wasn’t finders keepers, cos there was a crime story involved.

Cerberus!
Thanks, my brain went blank.
We’ve got to stop meeting like this!
Cerberus?
Zeus, Apollo and a friend?
If one was female her name would have to be Diana.
You mean Artemis.
Yes. 🙂
Get most of the greek and roman names backwards.
Doesn’t help this particular confusion that Apollo is both.
,
…
It didn’t post!
It did for me.
Got it this morning.
A Woody Woodpecker romance?
Um…. Just what kind of comics were you reading?
When i first looked, I thought the rocket ship was attached to the creature in front by those two wires, like some kind of headdress.
Had to do a double take.
What’s kind of amazing is that the aliens aren’t slathering beasts, grabbing the astronautes, in the space suit made of a helmet, boots, and not much else.
Don’t mess with “Cock of the Walk!”
,,.
..,.
Two?
nutrition…hm….maybe the almonds?
It works!
Where can I buy a copy?
I guess she shouldn’t be reading it on the bus!
Somewhere in North Carolina (I recommend turning off your sound / terrible music).
Looks like one of the Lake Seneca Deer. There was a huge Army Depot there and the area was fenced off. The result was an entire herd of albino deer.
Now that is serious red tide.
Purple!
Maybe what you get when a red tide mixes with the blue lake?
Seven before bedtime…
Up to eight!
Nine!
There was a time when i could sing the lyrics to the Super Chicken theme song.
Got six tonight,
I’m up to eight!

I actually found the nine today 🙂
Found eight in relatively short order, was missing the ninth, but guessed where it probably was, then a careful, methodical search found it.
I thought that one was was pretty subtle.
Certainly is, but there had to be at least one difference in that general area of the picture, there normally is! 😉
Don’t be too sure.
I mean, yeah, it worked this time.
But we’ve had some that are pretty lop-sided.
Gotta keep everybody on their toes!
That’s the one i missed.
Missed one, as usual. From my vantage point, Nighthawks consistently mislabels these as “Find the Nine Differences.” They should be “.. Eight Differences”, but he keeps slipping in an extra one just to mess with me.
The one I missed I should have seen.

A C Gilbert Company’s ‘Honey West’ glamorous action accessories (1965).
And one of A C Gilbert Company’s ‘Honey West’ dolls, in its box.
Episode one.
Reading the descriptions:

Her shoes aren’t designed to be used as a phone.
It’s about the same time as Get Smart, so, as Tegressy said, her shoes aren’t right but it’s probably the same communication system.
Wikipedia says car phones were operated in a few US cities as far back as 1948, but the first US large scale car phone system started in 1964.
