Description

(Fleischer Studios, 1934) Outstanding original production cel and production background featuring Popeye and Bluto from Let's You and Him Fight, showing Popeye as the winner of the bout after knocking Bluto out. The cel is placed on a hand-painted production background from the same film. Image measures 3.75 x 4.25, with a mat opening of 9 x 7. Framed to an overall size of 20 x 18.5 In fine condition. Fleischer released Let's You and Him Fight as a theatrical cartoon short, and it was the first cartoon to have the song 'Stars and Stripes Forever' playing during Popeye's spinach fight. This amazing Popeye setup featuring the cel and background from the same cartoon is one of just ten known to exist at present, and boasts an exceptional image from the final scene.
