Additional Information about the TV Cartoon Hoppy Jalopy

King Features had no cartoon studios, so Popeye storyboards were produced in its offices, while animation was divided between Paramount/Famous Studios, Larry Harmon Productions, Total TV Productions, Gene Deitch/Rembrandt Studios, Halas and Batchelor and Jack Kinney Productions.

Of those stations which bought the King Features Popeye cartoons in 1960, 90% renewed their contracts in 1965.

Note the change in the villain's name… from Bluto to Brutus.

Popeye feeds spinach juice to his jalopy to pass Brutus' car.
