More Popeye fun

One of the first of the Fleischer Popeyes, the laidback charm of the series shines through, especially when Popeye and Olive go to (well, actually sneak into) the rodeo. A bullfight seems a standard cartoon convention, but only Popeye would think of changing places with the bull to upstage Bluto. Good fun.
