Don't Feel Like Working?

You folks aren't alone.

Let's go back for a 1943 Popeye cartoon entitled "Too Weak To Work."  In this one, Bluto loafs and fakes a serious illness so that he can get out of work and go to the hospital.  Our spinach-chompin' hero discovers his pal's scam and does something about it.

This black-and-white cartoon from Famous Studios, with animation by Jim Tyer and Abner Kneitel and story by Joe Stultz, was directed by Isidore Sparber.

Released theatrically by Paramount Pictures.

Enjoy!
