Last week I presented a re-edited, extended version of the classic fetish scene found in Max Fleischer's Popeye cartoon, "Bridge Ahoy" ( https://youtu.be/Br6dBPhUl_I ). But as all TMF members know, there are two famous tickling encounters in this series; here's the second, Olive Oyl's devilish supernatural punishment from "Shiver Me Timbers". As with "Bridge Ahoy", viewing this on a smaller screen will make for more rewarding viewing. I've fleshed out the cadre of ghostly fiends with contributions from Fleischer's own earlier non-Popeye opus, "Swing You Sinners" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNttqN1wUMY ), as well as more modest theft from Flip the Frog's "The Cuckoo Murder Case" and Van Beuren's Tom and Jerry (two early human characters not related to the later cat and mouse) title, "Wot a Night". All are worth your time to seek out and enjoy.

This presentation would lose much of its impact had it not been backed by solid musical support. I was fortunate enough to find a fine copyright-free number from Youtuber Vivek Abhishek, one with the rather unpretentious title "Horror Theme". Its moody, hard-driving rhythms are instrumental in establishing eerie atmosphere and a sense of momentum. The selection was completely free to use in exchange for credit given and a link to his site. I couldn't be more pleased to supply both:

Below is a link to the "Horror Theme" selection I used. It makes for very entertaining listening without the distractions of visuals, dialogue and sound effects:

To round things out, here's my first edit of the "Shiver Me Timbers" footage. I completed it and let it sit for a couple of days, but found that repeat viewings exposed flaws. Many of the transitions seemed choppy, while a few of the shots I'd intended to include had been overlooked amidst the often bewildering selection of options. Additionally, the added production time allowed me to locate material I found to be even more effective. Personal preference will ultimately determine which version is better; at the very least, the contrast may shed some light on the chancy nature of creative decision making: https://youtu.be/gMe46Y9O4wo
