The Case of the Stuttering Pig is a 1937 Looney Tunes short directed by Frank Tashlin.
== Title ==
The title is a play on the 1937 Warner Bros. film The Case of the Stuttering Bishop. 
== Plot ==
Porky, Petunia, and their brothers Peter, Patrick, Percy, and Portis, are set to inherit a fortune from their rich uncle.

== Goofs ==
* When four of Porky's siblings are shown in the stocks, there are two extra spaces (for Porky and Petunia). Later, when Petunia is kidnapped, there are only 5 spaces, and Petunia looks the exact same as Porky's other siblings.
== Notes ==
* This cartoon parodies many of the typical horror movie elements of the 1930s, particularly the movies from Universal Studios.
* In this short, Petunia Pig appears as Porky Pig's sister rather than his girlfriend, as in her other appearances.
* The animation of Porky running up and down the stairs was later reused in "Jeepers Creepers" (1939).
* Porky has a brother named "Portis," a reference to the hometown of story writer Melvin Millar.
* The fourth wall is broken in this cartoon; the monster tells the audience not to interfere with his plan, particularly antagonizing "the guy in the third row." At the end of the short, when a theater chair gets thrown at the monster, it is revealed that the same "guy in the third row" threw it.
* Part of the cartoon was used for a David Letterman segment, New Halloween Costumes.
* Uncle Solomon is a caricature of Oliver Hardy.
