    Jeopardy Sheriff was a very interesting and amusing remake of one of Max Flesicher's Popeye cartoons, Child Psykolojiky(1941). The characters were the same: Popeye, Poopdeck Pappy, and Swee'pea. The subject matter was much the same, too: a dispute between Popeye and Poopdeck Pappy on child-raising. Poopdeck Pappy was bent on telling Swee'pea WHOPPERS, thinking that such would "make a man of him". Popeye and Pappy argued the point, upsetting poor Swee'pea, just as Pappy's hitting Swee'pea to quiet him (in Child Psykolojiky) was criticized by Popeye. Popeye found a better way, telling him a "fractured fairy tale", to wit, a funny version of the Three Bears story; it was about three bears (of which there were FOUR), named Moe, Sam, Lefty, and George, living in a motel. I do not remember much more about this Popeye cartoon, but DO see similarities between it and Child Psykolojiky. This one WAS a three-generational affair, on the subject of how to deal with children. The cartoon ended with Poopdeck Pappy's singing a new verse of the Popeye theme song: "It may be a whopper but I am the Popper of Popeye the Sailor Man--POOP POOP!" All in all, a very amusing Popeye.
