I've got my butter and bread, and a roof over my head! To commemorate the 16th anniversary of Pardoe the parrot's unexplained appearance in my garden, here's “Leave Well Enough Alone,” a spinach-free story in which Popeye shows why he has no future in PETA. It's directed by Dave Fleischer in 1939, with animation by Abner Matthews (aka Abner Kneitel) and Seymour Kneitel. (Uncredited: Musical direction by Sammy Timberg, and voice work by Jack Mercer as Popeye and Polly the Parrot, Margie Hines as Olive – and I can't prove it, but the third dog to get scooped up sounds an awful lot like Gus Wickie, who voiced both Bluto and Goofy.)

Matt Bors muses: Why doesn't Michelle trust Barry anymore?
Jesse Springer pays tribute to the Oregon legislature's plan to build a bridge with an on-ramp but no off-ramp, because otherwise it'd be a waste of money. (I like to think the legislature is trying to do an homage to “Back to the Future III.” Or, you know, maybe not.)
