Porky Pig

Porky Pig was a Warner Bros. cartoon character, created by Friz Freleng in 1935. He made his debut in a two-strip Technicolor Merrie Melodies cartoon, I Haven't Got a Hat.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He was the very first star of Warner Bros. cartoons, and the birth of the glorious future of Warner Bros. animation.
 * 2) This stuttering pig marked the birthplace for future Warner Bros. cartoon superstars, such as Taz, Foghorn Leghorn, Daffy Duck, and of course, Bugs Bunny.
 * 3) He is very sweet, kind, and caring.
 * 4) Mel Blanc did an excellent job voicing him.
 * 5) He had a bit of character development from a Butt-Monkey type character to an intelligent, snarky, and competent sidekick who always came out on top whenever paired with Daffy, especially in New Looney Tunes.
 * 6) His design is very cute.
 * 7) Unlike the other Looney Tunes stars, he is usually innocent and friendly.
 * 8) He ends almost every Looney Tunes cartoon/film with his iconic catchphrase "Th-Th-Th-That's All Folks!," especially "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" (1988) and Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
 * 9) Like Bugs Bunny, he also had his own show "The Porky Pig Show" from 1964 until 1967, which unlike Bugs (whose his show originally appears to take place in a stage), Porky's own show took place in a barn, which is interesting.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can be a Butt-Monkey type character in many cartoons, especially when he gets abused in "Looney Tunes Cartoons" for practically no reason.
 * 2) He sometimes gets interrupted, such as when he tries to say "That's All Folks!" in The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie. (1981), Gremlins 2 (1990) Looney Tunes Back in Action (2003).
 * 3) When he was paired with Sylvester, Porky was horribly misguided, oblivious and he unintentionally made things worse for Sylvester's situation.

Trivia

 * He received his very first starring role in Tex Avery's black-and-white Looney Tunes cartoon, The Blow Out, released in 1936.
 * He is named after one of Friz Freleng's old friends.
