Featured review
Wimpy Becomes Blimpy
"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!" That is the favorite like of Wimpy, who starts off this cartoon with that familiar sentence. He's standing outside of Brutus' house but, I guess, just talking to himself.
Brutus is inside, reading the paper when an item jumps off the page at him: "Wanted: world's biggest giant for a carnival act." He isn't thinking about himself; he's looking at Wimpy outside and wondering, "I wonder if my garden 'Giant Grow Pills' will work on Wimpy."
He gives Wimpy a huge plate full of hamburgers with the pills inside them....and it works. Wimpy literally grows out of Brutus' house, bursting through the roof. He's a giant, all right.
At first, this looks like a good plan for Brutus, but it quickly backfires. Wimpy won't go to work unless he's fed first, and he has such a stomach that it takes an assembly-line worth of hamburgers just to remotely satisfy him. More problems ensue, such as the fact Wimby is too big even for the circus!
Brutus gets desperate and hires The Sea Hag. I liked the sign on her wall: "The Sea Hag: Shyster At Law." Aren't they all?
Overall, it wasn't boring, or so dumb it was annoying. Yes, these latter-day King Features Popeye cartoons were weak, but still watchable.
