A Date To Skate
I can't stop laughing at this one! Olive's futal attempts to skate are truely sidesplitting! The tossed can of spinach to Popeye from real life audience is reminicant of another Popeye cartoon "HOW GREEN IS MY SPINACH", where Popeye recieves his can of spinach from a young boy carrying a grocery bag with him! It classic slapstick at its best! With even a little KEYSTONE KOPS throw in for good measure around Olive Oyl's plight hanging onto racing fire engine!
