"Dixieland Droopy" (MGM)
Fav bit: the way the musical director distorted the music to create unusual effects, e.g. inside the pipes, going through the revolving door, and my personal favorite, slowing down and stopping to create a strained effect as Droopy gets stuck in the tar.

"The Spinach Overture" (Popeye) - redrawn
I'd never have pegged Bluto for a longhair. DYN that Wimpy seems to have a couple of brothers in this one? Fav bits: Bluto throw xylophone keys at Popeye, who punches them right back at him; they hit Bluto in the face and fall precisely in sequence; also, watch Bluto try to stop Popeye by jamming a tuba over his head.
