Unionizing college athletes. Governor
Christie's innocence. The religious rights of corporations. And
wasn't there a plane that was abducted by aliens a couple of weeks
ago? Or is that yesterday's news?

special panel of attorneys, who work for us, and consequently would
never ever pin the blame on us, from the week's offerings at

I'd planned on bringing you Number
8 of the top
50 cartoons of all time – the wonderfully surreal "Porky
in Wackyland," directed in 1938 by Robert Clampett, but the only
online copy available is on a Romanian site that defeated all my
browser's plugins, so I didn't even try to make a link for it here.
(It was still available back
in 2010, for those who followed the block back then.) If I get
the problem solved we'll continue the feature at some point in the
(with a little luck) future. Meanwhile, here's "Shiver Me
Timbers!" a 1934 Popeye treat directed by Dave Fleischer, with
uncredited work by Willard Browsky (the actual director), Billy
Costello (Popeye), Mae Questel (The Slender One), and Sammy Timberg
(musical direction). I'd love to tell you who voiced Wimpy, but I can
find no trace. Enjoy.

Me Timbers!

In the interest of humanitarianism, and

We live on hopes here at p3.
