One of a handful of Popeye shorts where Olive's affections are not a point of contention to fight over., 2 July 2003
9/10

This is a comparatively rare short, in that Popeye and Bluto aren't fighting over the "honor" of having Olive Oyl for a girlfriend (a battle which never ceases to amaze me-Olive is a vain, shrewish, flighty and not terribly intelligent woman. But then Popeye and Bluto aren't prizes either. C'est le vie.) but rather Bluto's questionable business tactics. Window washer Bluto creates work by splashing mud far and wide. Popeye one ups him at his stock and trade and the battle for the ages has another, very funny and quite creative installment. Having temporarily de-commissioned the U.S.S. Popeye and ever the gentleman, introduces his hands to her neck, but Popeye eats his vegetable and rides to the rescue. Excellent short, well worth watching. Recommended.
