I saw Me Musical Nephews a lot on Cartoon Network in the 90s. It seemed like it was on every time I watched the Acme Hour. Nevertheless, I never tire of it. Would you happen to know the name of the tune that the nephews play during their wild jam session?

The fact the nephews are only tolerable in "Me Musical Nephews" is a testament to how great that short is besides the obviously great musical timing

One Boomerang promo played a clip from "Me Musical Nephews" but it was the hideous redrawn version. Most Boomerang Popeye promos used clips from the redrawn shorts and 50s Famous Studio shorts for some reason.

the mental image of Popeye beating the shit out of Pluto will forever be ingrained in my mind

It would be nice to have a little mini-episode where Bob talks about his experiences meeting (and working with) these Fleischer/Famous guys like Johnny Gent, Jack Ozark, et al.

Thank you for figuring out and explaining the animation credits from the Fleischer-Famous changeover! It always looked to me like there were constant re-shuffles with the animators switching between different units, but as you say, they are almost always consistent by series. It looks like Jim Tyer took Seymour Kneitel's place as one of the Popeye directors following Kneitel's promotion. Meanwhile, over on the Superman series, Nick Tafuri took the place of Willard Bowsky and/or Myron Waldman following their departure. David Tendlar's only Superman credit, for "Destruction, Inc." is between Bowsky's and Waldman's last cartoons, so maybe they were in a pinch for Superman directors and needed to bring someone over from one of the Popeye units.

I think you may be right, but there is some weird shuffling in the years to come and ultimately Tyer would be demoted so Johnson could have his old job back when he returned from the service. I'm pretty sure that wasn't part of the deal upon his hire, so Tyer was probably even more pissed.

I've learned to ID Tyer's scenes in Van Beuren cartoons. His signature style is much in evidence in several cartoons. They seem to have given him action scenes. I can point out some of his scenes that I've noticed, if you're interested.
