Porky Pig

Generations of kids grew up with the stuttering porcine cartoon character named Porky Pig. Who could forget his classic line “Th-th-th-that's all folks!” Before the stardom of Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig was the toast of Warner Bros. Cartoons. Porky Pig surely made pigs proud with his lovable, mild-mannered character that charmed audiences worldwide.

Porky Pig made his first appearance in 1935 in the short film I Haven't Got a Hat. Although he only had a minor role in the movie, Porky's endearing stutter and good-natured temperament made him a hit.

He subsequently starred in more cartoons and earned a loyal following. Porky Pig took the back seat upon the arrival of the more popular Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny but he still figured in a lot of supporting roles, even having a successful team-up with the loquacious duck.

Porky Pig was originally voiced by Joe Dougherty who had a real stutter. Costs became too high as Dougherty couldn't fully control his stuttering problem so he was replaced by Mel Blanc, who also gave voices to Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Yosemite Sam, and other cartoon characters. Blanc later said that the Porky's stutter was a portrayal of the actual grunting of pigs. Porky Pig is currently voiced by Bob Bergen.
