Description: Here is a bumper for Popeye on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32.

Voiceover by Jeff Lupetin - "Now back to Popeye..."

Couple interesting things about this bumper - First of all, for some reason they use the old style WFLD 32 logo from the Field days. This is different from the other ones. Secondly, the animation is more pronounced in this version - look at the "sparkle" effects on the 32 logo and around the clock box. This wasn't seen in the other bumpers, though it was seen in the opening.

Could this have been a leftover bumper from an earlier incarnation of Super Cartoon Sunrise? When did they bring in the clock though?

In any case, this seems to be a closer relative to the Popeye Hour SCS bumper from 1979-1980 that I posted earlier than these other 1984 bumpers.

(Note: The black box was for showing the clock displaying the current time in the morning. It is not included in these clips because they were not recorded off-air, but from studio master tapes)

This aired on local Chicago TV in the Fall of 1984.
