33. Popeye, the Sailor, beloved balloon and star of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the past ten years, is retired from service due to wear and tear. A retirement party is held in Central Park. The Popeye balloon stands tilted over as workers hold its' ropes. Children push against a police blockade to get a look at the character. Workers are dressed in checkered clown outfits. They tug on its' ropes and smile. Close-up of the balloon's face.
