The final appearances of J. Wellington Wimpy and Bluto in a theatrical Popeye cartoon.
This is the last use of the "Bluto" name until The All-New Popeye Hour (1978).
The comics and merchandise used "Sonny Boy" "Mr. Mean" and "Mean Man" for Bluto-like-characters until 1960 when the name Brutus was used for Popeye the Sailor (1960).
Penultimate theatrical Popeye cartoon.
Wimpy gets a free meal, as he usually does, but considerably more than a hamburger.
Postwar-era diners were a common feature of the U. S. culture at the time, especially as more Americans were now driving cars. The establishments often were run by former veterans of the military mess system. Such a diner is famously featured in Sadler Colley Bakst, released the year before.
