Canine Caprice

Popeye buys a dog named Roger from a man in the street, and he discovers that it knows how to talk. Of course, Popeye can't get it to talk for anyone but him. Roger delights in getting Popeye into a variety of mischief. Popeye gives the dog to Olive, but when the dog snitches on Olive to Popeye that she's seeing another man (when, in actual fact, it's just her piano teacher), it leads to all kinds of misunderstandings.

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.
