I'd like to invite you over for a duck dinner...

You bring the ducks! (J. Wellington Wimpy)

Popeye the Sailor Song
(Jeje... note J. Wellington Wimpy's hamburger cooking skills!)


Max Fleischer, one of my childhood heroes.
If the name doesn't sound too familiar, think animation.
Creator of Betty Boop.
Responsible for Popeye the Sailor.
Brought Superman to the screen.
Inventor of Rotoscoping. (In fact, check out this 1936 article published in Popular Science.)

Considering the cartoons debuted in the 1930's, the animation effects are pretty sick!

Popeye the Sailor - Rotograph


On an entirely different note - check out this month's issue of National Geographic, if you can. There's an article on Bhutan that utterly made my jaw drop. The headline reads:

Bhutan's Enlightened Experiment
Guided by a novel idea, the tiny Buddhist kingdom tries to join the modern world without losing its soul.

I just didn't realize places like this still existed.
Besos.
