Popeye the Sailor man

The boys are taking Olive on a picnic.
It's April 1, and Bluto plays a series of "jokes" on Popeye, though of course they go beyond the bounds of acceptability, particularly once they get to the picnic grounds; Bluto puts gasoline on the fire he asks Popeye to light and swaps a beehive for the lemonade.
Bluto then launches a cruel joke against Olive and frames Popeye.
The capper: he replaces Popeye's spinach with a joke can, and runs off with Olive for some canoeing.
But Popeye gets the last laugh with an inflatable sea monster.

Max Fleischer - Popeye and Betty Boop Creator

The famous Fleischer Studios, one of the first animation studios , were the studious who found a method to produce animation more efficiently and economically, calling "The method of producing moving picture cartoons" in 1917.

Fleischer made the first sound cartoons of contemporary comic heroes like Popeye and Betty Boop.
