Gabby Goat

Gabby Goat is a minor character in the Looney Tunes series.
==History==
=== Golden Age ===
Ub Iwerks, who briefly joined Looney Tunes, created Gabby to be a sidekick for Porky Pig in the 1937 short "Porky and Gabby". The cartoon focuses on the title characters' camping trip, which is foiled by car trouble. Storyboard artist Cal Howard supplies Gabby's voice. Gabby looks like Porky with a beard, horns, and scowl. 
Gabby's second appearance was "Porky's Badtime Story", where roommates Porky and Gabby are almost fired from their jobs for sleeping in and showing up late. They vow to get to sleep early that night, but various problems keep them awake all night. The third and final appearance of the character in the Golden Age of American Animation was in "Get Rich Quick Porky", where Porky and Gabby dig for oil.
The goat's chief characteristics are his irritability and short temper, traits that make him a natural foil for the shy, easy-going Porky. The concept did not play out as well as the animators would have liked; audiences felt that the goat's behavior was too offensive to be funny. Bob Clampett, Iwerks' successor after the latter left the studio, would also grow to dislike the character as a snobby sidekick, quickly resulting in his retirement after Iwerks left the studio.https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/animator-breakdown-bob-clampetts-porkys-badtime-story-1937/ Clampett would end up replacing Gabby with the more popular Daffy Duck as Porky's sidekick; this is further established in "Tick Tock Tuckered", a Technicolor remake of "Porky's Badtime Story" with Gabby fully replaced by Daffy.
Gabby was planned to appear in "Porky's Party", based on the original storyboard.
=== Post-Golden Age ===
In Season 2 of New Looney Tunes, Gabby returned after nearly 80 years of absence from Looney Tunes media, and in his first appearance in color. He appears in "Gettin' Your Goat" and "Tweet Team". In Season 3's "Planet of the Bigfoots", he plays the monster who was attacking Bugs, Daffy, Elmer, and Bigfoot in the dark cave and reveals himself to be the guardian of the Rhombus Stone. In "CinderPorker", he is one of Petunia's intended suitors, serenading her. He is voiced by Bob Bergen and was also given a full redesign. He wears a hoodie instead of a sweater. His voice has changed to being more goat-like.http://www.bobbergen.com/images/Aug_26-27_2017_SF_Wkend_Animation_Workshop_with_Bob_Bergen_and_Collette_Sunderman.pdf
