63-534: He is known for his signature line at the end of many shorts, "(stutter) that's all, folks!" This slogan (without stuttering) had also been used by both Bosko and Buddy and even Beans at the end of Looney Tunes cartoons. Porky is the oldest continuing Looney Tunes character. Porky's most distinctive trait is a severe stutter , for which he sometimes compensates by replacing his words; for example, "What's going on?" might become "What's guh-guh-guh-guh—   ...   what's happening?" Porky's age varied widely in

126-485: A Billie Holiday -style performance as an example of nonracist racial tribute to a real person. According to Tom Bertino , Harman and Ising never called attention to Bosko's racial status, and stayed clear of negative stereotypes involving dice and watermelon. Bosko instead received positive portrayals as a spunky and resourceful boy. An exception to this was a demeaning representation in Congo Jazz (1930). Bosko in

189-494: A Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special". Porky also made cameo appearances in Animaniacs (where he was voiced by Rob Paulsen in ”De-Zanitized”, Greg Burson in “The Warners' 65th Anniversary Special”, and Bob Bergen in “Suffragette City”) and Histeria! (where he was voiced by Billy West ). Porky appears in the movie Space Jam (1996) and collaborates with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Sylvester in challenging

252-566: A bar called Porky's which often featured attendants that were humanoid versions of other Looney Tunes characters. The bar and Porky also made a cameo in Tom King's Batman series. Porky appears in the preschool series Bugs Bunny Builders which aired on Cartoon Network 's Cartoonito block and HBO Max , where he is once again voiced by Bob Bergen. Porky appears in the Teen Titans Go! episode, "Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary". He

This short, so-called " blooper " can also be found on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4 of 2006, under the title Porky Pig Breakdowns of 1939 (with several versions of the clip, making it look like a true "blooper"), and on an Each Dawn I Die DVD box set, also released in 2006. Though

378-500: A company named Porkybux before it was hacked and ran him out of business. He is later approached by Lex to be in charge of LexCorp 's social media division and lets Lex get away with harassing his employees and stealing their sandwiches as repayment for the second chance. It is later revealed that Lex gave him the position to frame Porky when he used his social media website to steal important passwords from their users. Porky begins an autobiography in prison to expose Lex for his actions. In

441-555: A device to increase their shows' ratings. Characters may be antagonists without being evil – they may simply be injudicious and unlikeable for the audience. In some stories, such as The Catcher in the Rye , almost every character other than the protagonist may be an antagonist. Another example of this occurring is through Javert in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables , in which Javert displays no malicious intent, but instead represents

504-532: A disc officially devoted to Bosko and other early 1930s characters. All the Bosko cartoons subject to copyright remain owned by Warner Bros., but the majority of Bosko cartoons have fallen into the public domain . Warner Bros. also owns the Happy Harmonies cartoons starring Bosko through Turner Entertainment Co. , as Ted Turner bought the pre-May 1986 MGM library. Antagonist An antagonist

567-529: A dress worn by Honey or eating a sandwich (with exaggerated chewing) Bosko had a stock exclamatory reaction indicating his pleasure "Mmmm! Dat sho' is fine!" which became something of a catch phrase. According to Terry Lindvall and Ben Fraser, Bosko and Honey "were the most balanced portrayals of blacks in cartoons to that point". They had the same type of formulaic coy adventures as Mickey and Minnie Mouse . They point to Bosko in Person (1933) where Honey gives

630-738: A few solo cartoons as well, such as Frank Tashlin 's Brother Brat . Other cartoons dumbed Porky down and cast him as a duck hunter after Daffy, largely paralleling the Elmer Fudd / Bugs Bunny pairings. Chuck Jones perfected the Porky-as-straight man scenarios, pairing the pig with Daffy Duck in a series of film and television parodies such as Drip-Along Daffy , Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century , Rocket Squad , Deduce, You Say! , The Scarlet Pumpernickel and Robin Hood Daffy . Jones also paired Porky with Sylvester in

693-512: A highly unsuccessful foray into the real world, Porky returns happily to the studio that created him. To this day, Porky remains as a loyal sidekick while Daffy refuses to be a second banana to Bugs Bunny , who rose to prominence shortly after Daffy. Porky always remained a sentimental favorite of the Warner directors. His mild-mannered nature and shy demeanor made him the perfect straight man for zanier characters such as Daffy. He still starred in

756-580: A jungle setting is depicted standing between a small monkey and a gorilla. All three are depicted with virtually identical faces. The only things identifying him as human is his relative size and his clothes. Following his first Looney Tunes outing, Sinkin' in the Bathtub , Bosko would go on to star in thirty-nine musical films (one of which was not released). His cartoons are notable for their generally weak plots and their abundance of music, singing, and dancing (though there were exceptions, such as Bosko

819-599: A large musical library with all the popular tunes of the day, lavish orchestras (like Abe Lyman 's), and sound recording equipment and staff free of charge. Disney, on the other hand, had no access to a music library and was forced to rely, for the most part, on public domain music. Vaudeville was the major entertainment of the time, and the cartoons of the era are better understood when compared to it rather than to animation of later decades. Though rudimentary by today's standards, Bosko's films were quite popular in their day and rivaled films featuring Mickey Mouse in popularity in

882-515: A mysterious voice leads Babs Bunny to build a theater that shows nothing but cartoons of Bosko's girlfriend Honey, after being told about Honey (voiced by B. J. Ward ) by the Acme Looniversity's mysterious vaultkeeper (voiced by Don Messick ). Babs does so, and the resulting audience laughter rejuvenates the aged and ailing Honey. The laughter also rejuvenates the vaultkeeper, who is revealed to be none other than Bosko himself as well as

945-482: A screwy black duck, Daffy . Daffy Duck, the creation of Tex Avery, was by far the most popular, eventually outshining even Porky. In fact, Friz Freleng satirized this phenomenon when he directed You Ought to Be in Pictures (1940), where Daffy convinces Porky to quit his job at Warner Bros. to find better-paying work elsewhere. Porky then convinces studio head Leon Schlesinger to release him from his contract. After

1008-606: A series of cartoons in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in which Porky plays the curmudgeonly and naive owner of the cat and remains clueless that Sylvester is constantly saving him from homicidal mice, space aliens and other threats. Porky was used in regular rotation in television syndication beginning in the 1960s, as were the rest of his Looney Tunes co-stars. A Saturday morning cartoon, The Porky Pig Show , ran from 1964 to 1967. In 1971, he starred in another show, Porky Pig and Friends . Both of these programs were collections of old theatrical shorts. Porky also appeared in all

1071-539: A short pilot cartoon, similar to Max Fleischer's Out of the Inkwell cartoons, titled Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid that showcased their ability to animate soundtrack -synchronized speech and dancing. The short, plotless cartoon opens with live action footage of Ising at a drafting table. After he draws Bosko on the page, the character springs to life, talks, sings, dances, and plays the piano. Ising returns Bosko to

1134-549: A shy little boy to an immensely fat adult. Though he was still in a supporting role, Porky got most of the laughs. The directors realized they had a star on their hands. Porky shared his stutter with the voice actor who originally played him, Joe Dougherty , who was actually a person who stuttered. Because Dougherty could not control his stutter, however, production costs became too high as his recording sessions took hours, and Porky's additional lines were done by Count Cutelli . Mel Blanc replaced Dougherty in 1937. Blanc continued

1197-531: A stutterer. Also, some cartoons show Porky as an antagonist ( Porky's Duck Hunt , Porky's Hare Hunt , My Favorite Duck , A Corny Concerto , Duck Soup to Nuts , Daffy Doodles , Daffy Duck Hunt , Boobs in the Woods , Thumb Fun and Cracked Quack ). Eventually, he settled into a kind persona. Clampett's Porky was an innocent traveler, taking in the world's wonders—and in Clampett's universe,

1260-484: Is a character in a story who is presented as the main enemy or rival of the protagonist . The English word antagonist comes from the Greek ἀνταγωνιστής – antagonistēs , "opponent, competitor, villain, enemy, rival," which is derived from anti- ("against") and agonizesthai ("to contend for a prize"). The antagonist is commonly positioned against the protagonist and their world order. While narratives often portray

1323-535: Is among the Looney Tunes characters guests for the Warner Bros. centennial celebration, voiced once again by Bob Bergen. A short black-and-white cartoon was made in 1938 as part of a Warner Bros. blooper reel . It was shown on the Warner Bros. 50th Anniversary TV show. Porky is shown doing some carpentry work, pounding nails, when he smacks his thumb with the hammer. Grimacing in pain, he cries, "Oh, son of

Brown , Johnny Murray , and Philip Hurlic during the 1920s and 1930s and once by Don Messick during

1449-466: Is often used by an author to create conflict within a story. This is merely a convention, however. An example in which this is reversed can be seen in the character Macduff from Macbeth , who is arguably morally correct in his desire to fight the tyrant Macbeth , the protagonist. Examples from television include J.R. Ewing ( Larry Hagman ) from Dallas and Alexis Colby ( Joan Collins ) from Dynasty . Both became breakout characters used as

1512-404: Is shown to be fatter, like some of his earlier appearances in the mid-1930s. Porky was first mentioned in "Dust Bugster", where he told Bugs about a television series whose name was not mentioned that led to Bugs binge-watching it. In the 2018 DC Comics and Looney Tunes comic crossovers, Porky appeared in a story that paired him with Lex Luthor . This version of Porky was the successful owner of

1575-425: Is still friends with Daffy Duck and often sucked into Daffy's schemes. Porky is also Daffy's nervous, fall guy buddy, similar to their relationship in classic comic books. It is also revealed in the show that in his high school years, he was a jock who bullied Daffy, while during their childhood years, it was Daffy who bullied Porky. In the documentary I Know That Voice (2013), Bob Bergen explains how to recreate

1638-579: The Animaniacs cartoon "The Girl with the Googily Goop", in which he is seen parking his car. He was also seen in a Futurama opening in Sinkin' in the Bathtub at the part where he runs off a cliff from the car with Honey in it. The majority of the cartoons are available on VHS and DVD in the Uncensored Bosko series from Bosko Video. In 2003, Warner Home Video officially released

1701-597: The Golden age of American animation . The character was introduced in the 100th short, I Haven't Got a Hat (first released on March 2, 1935), directed by Friz Freleng . Studio head Leon Schlesinger suggested that Freleng do a cartoon version of the popular Our Gang films. Porky only has a minor role in the film, but the fat little stuttering pig quickly became popular. Porky's name came from two brothers who were childhood classmates of Freleng, nicknamed "Porky" and "Piggy". Since Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising had left

1764-621: The "Eager Young Space Cadet" in the animated series Duck Dodgers (2003–2005), again voiced by Bob Bergen. Porky has a descendant in Loonatics Unleashed (2005–2007) named Pinkster Pig (who was also voiced by Bob Bergen). Pinkster had been an old friend of Danger Duck ( Daffy Duck 's descendant), but became a villain when he was adopted by Stoney and Bugsy (descendants of Rocky and Mugsy ). Porky also appears in most episodes of Cartoon Network 's animated series The Looney Tunes Show (2011–2014), voiced again by Bob Bergen . He

1827-594: The "blooper" was made a year before Gone with the Wind famously used the word in the line " Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn ", due to the Motion Picture Production Code the "blooper" was not shown publicly until the aforementioned special, which by that point FCC regulations softened enough for the word "bitch" to be used on television. The blooper was also shown as part of a package of other vintage bloopers on Warner Cable pay-per-view in

1890-562: The 1990s. In 1927, Harman and Ising worked for the Walt Disney Studios on a series of live-action/animated short subjects known as the Alice Comedies . The two animators created Bosko in 1928 to capitalize on the recent success of talkies in the motion picture industry. They began thinking about making a sound cartoon with Bosko in 1928 even prior to their departure from Walt Disney . Hugh Harman made drawings of

1953-410: The 80s. The blooper was animated by Rod Scribner , widely considered as one of the best Looney Tunes animators of all time. Porky was ranked number 47 on TV Guide ' s list of top 50 cartoon characters. He was shown on one of that issue's two covers in a crossover scene with Duck Dodgers and The Powerpuff Girls .

2016-674: The Doughboy , in 1931). These were the early days of sound cartoons, and audiences were enthralled simply to see characters talking and moving in step with the music. In terms of animation, the shorts are on-par with Disney's shorts of the same period. Harman and Ising were allowed production costs of up to $ 6000 per cartoon. During the same period, Disney was spending around $ 10,000 per cartoon. The smaller budgets forced Harman and Ising to recycle footage much more often than Disney did. However, Harman and Ising had an advantage in terms of music and sound recording, as Warner Bros. provided access to

2079-616: The Lucky Rabbit , they carefully kept all rights to the Bosko character and took him with them at the time of their departure. The two found work with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer where they launched the Happy Harmonies series. At first, Bosko appeared in his original design and some of the old animation from the Looney Tunes series was even reused in those Happy Harmonies that features Bosko. However, after only two cartoons,

He tries to get Michael Jordan 's autograph when the basketball star is first recruited to join the team and later plays for the Tune Squad in the game itself, scoring one basket.

According to John Truby, "It is only by competing for

2331-457: The character was redesigned into an identifiable black boy, similar in appearance to Inki and Lil' Eightball , with an overactive imagination. This redesigned Bosko, whom many consider to be a different character altogether despite the shared name, only starred in seven negatively-received cartoons before Harman and Ising discontinued the character. The career of the character ended for good when MGM fired Harman and Ising due to cost overruns in

2394-521: The character, however; his appearance, age, and personality all varied from picture to picture. Several such cartoons show Porky as a child with parents: father Phineas ( Porky the Rainmaker , Milk and Money , Porky's Poppa , and Porky and Teabiscuit ) and an unnamed mother ( Wholly Smoke and Porky's Hero Agency ). Bob Clampett finally pinned Porky down in 1939, making him a permanent young adult: cuter, slimmer, smarter, and eventually less of

2457-517: The classic film-feature compilations in the 1970s and 1980s. Another such collection was the 1986 film, Porky Pig in Hollywood , which ran in art and college theaters. Porky made an appearance in the Disney / Amblin film Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) at the end of the film where he, being paired with Disney's Tinkerbell , closes the movie with his famous line "Th-Th-Th-That's All Folks!". It

2520-422: The early 1930s, although Disney cartoons would eventually surge ahead in popularity on the basis of stronger plot and character development. In the later Looney Tunes shorts in which Bosko appeared, his accent was gone. Consequently, his race became more ambiguous. In 1933, Harman and Ising broke with Warner Bros. over budget disputes with Schlesinger. Having learned from Walt Disney's experiences with Oswald

2646-632: The films they produced. They were replaced by Fred Quimby , who later hired Harman and Ising back, though Bosko did not make any appearances in subsequent MGM subjects they produced. Bosko cartoons were packaged with other Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, to be broadcast in various television markets in the 1950s. For instance, "Skipper Frank" (Frank Herman), showed Bosko, along with Buddy , on "Cartoon Carousel" his hour-long afterschool cartoon program on KTLA-TV (Channel 5) in Los Angeles. Bosko cartoons were also later aired on Nickelodeon as part of

Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 (released in 2008) includes several Bosko films on

2835-437: The inkwell, and the short ends. Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid was a landmark in animation history for being the first cartoon to predominantly feature synchronized speech, though Fleischer Studios' Song Car-Tune "My Old Kentucky Home" was the first cartoon to contain animated dialogue a few years earlier. This cartoon set Harman and Ising "apart from early Disney sound cartoons because it emphasized not music but dialogue." The short

2898-402: The network's Looney Tunes program beginning in 1988 and ending in 1992, when the network pulled all black-and-white shorts out of rotation to make room for more recent color cartoons featuring more popular Looney Tunes characters.

In April 1929 they left Universal to market their new cartoon character. In May 1929, they produced

3024-408: The permanent voice of Porky until his death in 1989. In later interviews, Blanc often said that he intended Porky's stutter to be suggestive of the grunting of actual pigs. Porky's Duck Hunt was also the first film of another Looney Tunes star, Daffy Duck . Porky Pig is currently voiced by Bob Bergen . Porky starred in dozens of films in the late 1930s. The directors still did not have a grasp on

3087-473: The pig's famous stutter, demonstrating how difficult it is to do it without practice. He finishes the segment by joking "Nobody [else] can do that, and that's why I have job security !" Porky appears in the direct-to-video movie Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run (2015), reprised by Bob Bergen. Porky Pig appears as a recurring character in New Looney Tunes , voiced once again by Bob Bergen. Here, he

3150-581: The producers thought he "looked naked". Meanwhile, as Clampett noted, nothing was ever made of the fact that "all those years, Porky never wore any pants!" However, Porky was seen with pants in Porky's Badtime Story , Tick Tock Tuckered and Brother Brat . Porky's post at the pinnacle of the Warners' pantheon was short-lived. In 1937, the studio tried pairing Porky with various sidekicks, such as love interest Petunia Pig , cantankerous foil Gabby Goat , and

3213-552: The protagonist as a hero and the antagonist as a villain , like Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter , the antagonist does not always appear as the villain. In some narratives, like Light Yagami and L in Death Note , the protagonist is a villain and the antagonist is an opposing hero. Antagonists are conventionally presented as making moral choices less savory than those of protagonists. This condition

3276-418: The rigid and inflexible application of the law, even when it leads to moral and ethical dilemmas. An aspect or trait of the protagonist may be considered an antagonist, such as morality or indecisiveness. An antagonist is not always a person or people. In some cases, an antagonist may be a force, such as a tidal wave that destroys a city; a storm that causes havoc; or even a certain area's conditions that are

3339-406: The root cause of a problem. An antagonist may or may not create obstacles for the protagonist. Societal norms or other rules may also be antagonists. An antagonist is used as a plot device, to set up conflicts, obstacles, or challenges for the protagonist. Though not every story requires an antagonist, it often is used in plays to increase the level of drama. In tragedies, antagonists are often

3402-488: The series; originally conceived as an innocent seven-year-old piglet (explicitly mentioned as such in Porky's Preview ), Porky was more frequently cast as an adult, often being cast as the competent straight man in the series in later years. At the ending of many Looney Tunes cartoons, Porky Pig bursts through a bass drum head, and his attempt to close the show with "The End" becomes "Th-Th-The, Th-Th-The, Th-Th... That's all, folks!" Porky Pig appeared in 153 cartoons in

3465-402: The source of the voice. The cartoon depicts Bosko and Honey as dog-like talking animals similar to the lead characters of the later television series Animaniacs , presumably so as not to offend viewers with the original black-face characterizations. The character is also seen in a portrait in the 1996 film Space Jam , this time in his original form. He also appears in his original form in

3528-496: The star vehicle for the studio's new Looney Tunes cartoon series. Bosko wore long pants and a derby hat, and he had a girlfriend named Honey and a dog named Bruno. He was also sometimes accompanied by Honey's humanized cat ward named Wilbur and an often antagonistic goat, particularly in early cartoons. The role of Bosko was to serve as a cartoony version of Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer (1927). According to Ising, he

3591-417: The studio in 1933, taking the studio's star character Bosko with them, Looney Tunes had been kept afloat by cartoons featuring the bland Buddy. Porky's introduction ushered Buddy out the door and pointed to things to come. Tex Avery was hired to the studio in 1935, and his film Gold Diggers of '49 reused much of the cast from I Haven't Got a Hat , albeit in wildly different roles. Porky transitioned from

3654-484: The stutter; however, it was harnessed for a more precise comedic effect (such as stumbling over a simple word only to substitute a longer word without difficulty, or vice versa). This is parodied in A Connecticut Rabbit in King Arthur's Court , where Bugs Bunny struggles to pronounce the word "porcupine", which Porky pronounces with no trouble. Porky's Duck Hunt was released in 1937, and Blanc officially became

3717-603: The world is a very weird place. This principle is perhaps best demonstrated in Porky in Wackyland , a film that sends Porky on a quest to find the last of the surreal Dodos, Yoyo Dodo. Porky in Wackyland was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry in 2000. In his commentary as part of the 1970s documentary film Bugs Bunny: Superstar , Clampett said that his early version of Tweety Bird had to be redesigned after his first picture because

3780-522: Was in fact a cartoonized version of a young black boy... he spoke in a Southern Negro dialect... in subsequent films this characterization was eschewed, or perhaps forgotten. This could be called sloppiness on the part of Harman and Ising, but it also indicates the uncertain nature of the character itself. Schlesinger saw the Harman-Ising test film and signed the animators to produce cartoons at their studio for him to sell to Warner Bros. Bosko became

3843-439: Was initially supposed to be an "inkspot sort of thing". He was not conceived as either a human or an animal, though behaving like a little boy. According to Leonard Maltin , Bosko was a cartoonized version of a young black boy who spoke a Southern dialect of African American Vernacular English . He cites as an example a phrase from Bosko's Holiday , said with an intermittent drawl: "I sho'done likes picnics." Whether admiring

It would not be seen by a wide audience until seventy years later, in 2000, as part of Cartoon Network 's special Toonheads: The Lost Cartoons , a compilation special of rare material from the WB/Turner archives. In his book, Of Mice and Magic , Leonard Maltin states that this early version of Bosko

3969-414: Was the last time that Mel Blanc voiced Porky before his death in 1989. In the 1990s animated series Tiny Toon Adventures , Porky appears as the mentor of Hamton J. Pig .
