Terrific word play and interesting hyperbole
I much enjoyed this Popeye cartoon; even with my fondness for the oldies (Paramount/Famous Studios 1933-57), the new King Features made-for-TV package produced 1960-62 had some funny ones! Sale-ing was an excellent pun (considering Popeye was a born sailor); the cartoon was interesting hyperbole about the fondness that many women (not all) have for shopping. Popeye, taking Olive Oyl for drive, passed a store that caught Olive's fancy, saying Sale: One Half Off on Everything. She made outlandish purchases: left-handed monkey wrench, size 3 shoes that hurt her feet, some assorted next gunk, two grandfather clocks (for price of one). When Popeye sought to exchange these purchases for money, the customer service representative had him fill out forms in triplicate each time, which asked redundant questions. Olive found counter where dresses were sold mobbed; although having no penetrator, she found her way in and had Popeye catch dresses, which angered other customers. After Olive found gloves that were steal, and hats that were being given away, Popeye ate spinach and got her out, had her wear steel shield WORSE than welder's helmet as she could see nothing! Some of music was same as in Famous' Swimmer Take All. All in all, an amusing cartoon, both for the pun in its title AND its exaggeration of women's shopping love (even though I have met several women who do not care to shop at all, much less want to shop as Olive did in this cartoon)
