Don’t forget Popeye the Sailor and Tintin. I don’t know if Popeye made it to the UK, or even what young folks here think of him now, but when I was a kid Popeye was as popular in the States as Mickey Mouse or Superman.
Like most young kids I was watching Popeye cartoons religiously on b&w free-to-air UK tv, so that was about 60+ years ago… I knew more about Popeye than Superman at that age in the UK!
Yes, I remember watching Popeye cartoons although I never enjoyed them very much. Tom and Jerry and the Warner Bros. characters were much better. There was also Hergé’s Adventures of Tintin, an animated series from the 1950s which used to get repeated now and then. That was all I knew of Tintin until I got to see some of the books.
