fuckin hilarous

[7DARKHELLS]

Is his Mother related to Popeye?

[RoyFive]

@7DARKHELLS , Well, we did get to see Popeye's Dad (Poopdeck Pappy), and yeah, there is something of a resemblance.

[HaggisMcCrablice]

@RoyFive -- A lot of Columbia's characters bore striking resemblances to ones from other studios. Flippy and Flop were esssentially Sylvester and Tweety. Another short, "Uncultured Vulture", has an Elmer Fudd erstatz meet a bird that looks remarkably like the Jimmy Durante vulture in MGM's "What's Buzzin', Buzzard?" This probably owed to director and writer migration between studios during animation's Golden Age.

[ALANRLEAKE]

@7DARKHELLS It is not the 1st time that has happened. The people of MAD magazine wondered about that over 30 years ago.

[Lacroix67]

@7DARKHELLS No, Mammy Yokum just always looked like that.
