Wimpy's Trademark Line
14 September 2007
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.
