Anecdotes
During the Great Depression, diners were a popular choice for cheap, quick food. They were the forerunner of today's fast food chains. Unfortunately, many America could not even afford to eat at such establishments.

Gaffes
Popeye hands Bluto six sandwiches. Bluto spreads them out on his arm and there are nine. He flips them over, moves his arm, and there are eight. He tosses them in the air and eats all seven of them. Then again, math was never Bluto's strong subject.

Wimpy's Trademark Line

This starts out like a Betty Boop cartoon, meaning with a song. Popeye and Olive have opened a diner and they are seen outside of it on opening day, singing and dancing "We Aim To Please."

After that, we see Wimpy and Bluto standing on the other side of the street, observing. "Watch me obtain a hamburger without the necessary fee," says Wimpy. He goes inside and says, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." That line went on to be used by him for the next 30 years. It became his trademark, along with the hamburger-eating, of course.

There's not much of a story to this, but it was very entertaining. We only see two customers, but they are Customers From Hell, mainly Bluto. Wimpy won't pay, of course, but Bluto's aim is to demolish the place! He does everything he can to disrupt the the diner and act like some moronic vandal, just for the sake of being a no-good you-know-what.

If you have this cartoon on DVD, freeze-frame she shot where Popeye shows the menu and read it - it's pretty corny and funny.
