From the ABC Saturday Superstar Movie:
King Features' 1st television project since the short-lived live-action Blondie (1968) marked the official Saturday morning debut of Popeye, bringing along many of his King Features stablemates for "Popeye Meets The Man Who Hated Laughter". Heroes like Mandrake the Magician and The Phantom would return 14 years later (Defenders of The Earth), and Blondie & Dagwood would appear in a couple of primetime specials for CBS in the 80s. As for others like Tiger and Henry, they'd not be seen on television again.
Mind the slight hiccup toward the end. You'll see what I mean.
Should've been a two-parter.
Rating: B-.
