**Porky Pig** (simply known as **Porky**) is Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck’s sidekick, and the tritagonist of the *Looney Tunes* franchise.

He was voiced by the late Joe Dougherty (1935-1937), the late Mel Blanc (1937-1989), Jeff Bergman (1990-1993, 2002-2004), Noel Blanc (1990), Rob Paulsen (1990, 1993), the late Joe Alaskey (1992), the late Greg Burson (1992-1995, 1998), Eric Goldberg (1996), Billy West (1999, 2003-2004), primarily and currently Bob Bergen (1990-present) and temporarily voiced by Eric Bauza. In the Japanese dub, he is voiced by Naoki Tatsuta.

## Information

He first appeared in the 1935 Merrie Melodies cartoon short, *I Haven't Got a Hat*. He was the first character created by the studio to draw audiences based on his star power, and the animators (particularly Bob Clampett) created many critically acclaimed shorts using the fat little pig. Even after he was supplanted by later characters, Porky continued to be popular with moviegoers and, more importantly, the Warners directors, who recast him in numerous everyman and sidekick roles.

He is known for his signature line at the end of each short, "Th-th-th-that's all folks!" The slogan had also been used by both Bosko and Buddy and even Beans at the end of every Looney Tunes cartoon. In contrast, the Merrie Melodies series used the slogan: *So Long, Folks!* until the late 1930s when it was replaced with the same one used on the *Looney Tunes* series. (When Bugs Bunny was the closing character, he would break the pattern by simply saying, in his Brooklynese accent, "And Dat's De End!") He is 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?" In the ending of many Looney Tunes cartoons, Porky Pig bursts through a bass drumhead, and his farewell line "That's all folks!" becomes "Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-... That's all, folks." Porky Pig would appear in 152 cartoons in the Golden Age of American animation.
