Popeye's Junior Headache (Popeye the Sailor (1960's))



Popeye's Junior Headache is a 1960's Popeye cartoon, produced at Gerald Ray's animation studio and released through King Features. In this cartoon, Popeye wants to be left alone and get a peaceful shuteye, but he is instead forced to babysit Olive's niece, Deezil, and thus begins the most miserable day of his life.

Why It Will Give You a Junior Headache

 * 1) This episode is a Popeye torture episode just because Popeye wants to sleep but is forced to babysit Olive's niece.
 * 2) Deezil Oyl (despite her debut) and Olive Oyl are extremely unlikable.
 * 3) Deezil Oyl is without a doubt the worst addition to the Popeye series due to her being a huge Karma Houdini. Even Popeye's nephews and Shorty are nowhere near as annoying as Deezil is.
 * 4) Deezil's voice is very annoying and sounds a lot like Swee'Pea's voice for some reason.
 * 5) In one scene, Popeye was about to spank Olive before he realizes what he’s doing. (in consideration of how unlikable Olive was here however, it may have the potential for her to deserve it).
 * 6) Some painful slapstick comedy moments, For example, Deezil burns Popeye's butt.
 * 7) An infamous scene, with Popeye realizing that he ate  the wrong can. What happened? Deezil ate Popeye's spinach.
 * 8) * On top of that, Deezil badly switched both can labels.
 * 9) Olive doesn’t even forgive Popeye for what she did to him since Popeye just wanted to relax and be left alone.
 * 10) The animation is subpar and mediocre, like most cases from the Gerald Ray shorts of the series.
 * 11) In one scene, Olive was beating Popeye up with a vase just because Deezil dressed him up identically to Olive.
 * 12) * Before that, DEEZIL BRUTALLY BEATING UP POPEYE, EITHER, after she ate spinach.
 * 13) A very BAD ending, where Deezil shoots an arrow onto a sandbag which falls onto Popeye's head and knocks him out unconscious.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The voice acting from Mae Questel and Jack Mercer (except Deezil's voice) is passable.
 * 2) Deezil's character design and her most iconic 1950s-style tomboy-esque outfit looked extremely cute.
