Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Popeye singing at the beginning of the cartoon?

Answer: "I found out where to find my Pappy"

Popeye is sailing along in the ocean singing the following:

"Oh, I found out where to find my Pappy,
"My Pappy what got lost when I was born.
"One look at me made him unhappy,
"Forty years has past since he was sawn.
"But I'll sail and sail and sail the sea,
"And I won't come back till he comes with me.
"For I found out where to find my Pappy,
"My Pappy what got lost when I was born!"

2. Popeye says when he looks through the telescope at Goonland and sees the volcano smoke, "I wonder if that's where me Pappy is?" What does he say next?

Answer: "It must be. I can see his pipe smoking from here!"

Popeye must have heard that Pappy was being held captive on Goon Island, but we never hear how he knew. If he hadn't seen his father in forty years, how did he know Pappy smoked?

3. What does Popeye say after reading the sign on Goon Island, "All humans keep out!"?

Answer: "I wonder if they mean me?"

Popeye hides behind the sign when a Goon comes along, and then follows him to the village. I love it when Popeye says, "Hey, Stupid! Do you know where me Pappy is hid?" The Goon turns around, but Popeye stays directly behind him, and the Goon never sees him!

4. How does Popeye get to the prison where Pappy is being held?

Answer: He disguises himself as a Goon

Popeye disguises himself as a Goon and boldly walks over. Other Goons spot him, and Popeye says, "What's the score, fellas, what's the score?" The other Goons shrug and walk away.

Answer: checkers

Pappy is playing checkers with himself. In the color version only, if you watch carefully, you'll see the white checkers readjust themselves, allowing Pappy to jump four in a row!

6. What does Pappy say when Popeye tells him that he's Pappy's son?

Answer: "I don't like relatives!"

Pappy is obviously not happy to see Popeye at first. Evidently he abandoned his family right after Popeye was born. (Remember the lyrics from question one, "One look at me made him unhappy.") He doesn't seem to want to be rescued from the Goons, but changes his mind after Popeye gets into trouble.

7. What does Pappy say when Popeye asks, "Ain't you anxious to see me?"

Answer: "Whatcha want me to do, kiss ya?"

"Goonland" was released in the United States in 1938. It was the 1st appearance of Poopdeck Pappy, but not the last. Jack Mercer did the voices of both Pappy and Popeye. Pappy is my favorite character in the Popeye cartoon series. I think that's the funniest line of the whole cartoon! That line has been a running joke in our family for years!

8. Is Popeye caught by the Goons?

Answer: Yes

Popeye is standing sadly by the prison window after Pappy rejects him, and doesn't notice the Goons until it's too late. He tries to fight them off, but they overpower him.

9. Popeye eats his spinach and beats the Goons.

Answer: False

It's Pappy who eats the spinach. At first he laughs when Popeye is captured, but then he says, "My son! My only child!" Popeye had tried to eat the spinach, but the Goons knock it away. It rolls to the prison window, and Pappy uses his pipe to reach it. He frees himself from the prison and rescues Popeye.

10. Pappy leaves the island with Popeye.

Answer: True

At the end, we see Pappy carrying Popeye back to the ship. Popeye sings, "I've just found my Pappy, and now I am happy!", and Pappy sings, "I'm Popeye the Sailor's old man!" Pappy returned to civilzation with Popeye, and gave poor Popeye no end of trouble in other cartoons after that! Thanks for playing!
