Dave Tendlar Week Next Week
That's right - starting Monday and ending Friday, there will be a clip of Dave Tendlar's Popeye animation on each of those days along with some info and trivia on him.
That's great! I was always wondering what was the last cartoon with him animating. It's too bad that the last Popeye he de facto directed was released in 1949, and that was "Popeye's Premiere".
Tendlar had one more cartoon with Popeye after 1949, "Insect to Injury" after he was promoted to director, which was one of the better late Popeyes (while he wasn't the head animator, odds are like Kneitel his past experience made him more of a hands-on director than Izzy Sparber, when it came to the design and pacing of the cartoon).
I hope the Tendlar highlights include some of his work with the Bowsky unit. The two of them really developed the 'classic' Popeye look and movements for the Fleischer shorts in late 1934-early 1935.
I already saw the clip from "We Aim To Please" on your YT account... Which clip is not from the Tendlar's work at Bowsky's crew? "That's a good trick, 60 cents please!"
This can only be good. Tendlar was a champ no matter what he did - character design, animation, timing and direction, even comic books... probably one of the best of the New York animators.
Attention Collectors and Owners of Fleischer and Famous Studio Art
If you have a piece of Fleischer or Famous Studios production art that comes from an unknown title and needs identification - contact me. I have Identified pieces in the past for animation historian Jerry Beck, Leslie Cabarga (The Fleischer Story book), miscellaneous dealers, collectors, and readers of this blog. The only thing I ask for in return is a high quality scan of the art.

I can't wait!

All of the clips but one are from Tendlar's work for the Bowsky crew.
SWEET!

Whoops - I have to turn that one off.
