Mitch Miller

More Mitch Miller this time with Jack Mercer doing the voice of Popeye on this Gala Goldentone 6 inch 78 from 1962. The other side features Mike Stewart, Gilbert Mack and The Sandpipers with the story of Scruffy The Tugboat........................................................................................................................................................................Wikipedia says - "Popeye the Sailor is a cartoon fictional character created by Elzie Crisler Segar, who has appeared in comic strips and animated cartoons in the cinema as well as on television. He first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929. Popeye also became the strip's title in later years. Although Segar's Thimble Theatre strip was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut in 1929, the sailor quickly became the main focus of the strip and Thimble Theatre became one of King Features' most popular properties during the 1930s. Thimble Theatre was continued after Segar's death in 1938 by several writers and artists, most notably Segar's assistant Bud Sagendorf. The strip, now titled Popeye, continues to appear in first-run installments in its Sunday edition, written and drawn by Hy Eisman. The daily strips are reprints of old Sagendorf stories."......................................................................................................................................................................Mitch Miller - Popeye The Sailor Man........................................................................................................................................................................Mitch Miller - SCruffy The Tuboat
