Hahahahahhaah, great observation. :)
That's a nice caricature
I adore Larry!
He truly is a great character
I have never commented here before, so here it goes.
Mr. K, can you give specific examples of each of these five character types? Also, can one and two be mixed together?
so totally looking forward to this upcoming blog!
make sure it's loooong
I love retarded Saturday morning cartoon characters. He-Man probably is directly responsible for the metrosexual trend where straight guys act gay when they go out drinking.
He-Man has a lot to answer for in hell.
PETER EMSLIE!

Good old Tom Hatten used to host boatloads of Popeye cartoons on Saturday morning on KTLA in Los Angeles (in between 3 Stooges and 'Santa Claus Versus The Martians'/Pippi Longstocking double bills).
I'd spend hours watching the craziness and trying to figure out what Popeye was grumbling. I'm especially fond of the way they took the time to animate the opening and closing of the ship doors during the credit sequences, scored in perfect time to the music - as you said, it was yet another simle touch that kept even a still sequence feel like it was moving.
My introduction to popeye was also Tom Hatten! (though the early 80's version)
The only TV channel we had that wasn't local was a Los Angeles feed of KTLA.
Saturday (or was it Sunday?) you couldn't budge me from in front of the TV while I watched "Popeye And His Friends", as well as The Three Stooges, The Munsters, Twilight Zone and finally, I believe, ending with the Family Film Festival.
