Looney Tunes Original Cel Porky Pig Animation
Porky Pig is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. 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. He is the oldest continuing Looney Tunes character * and his most distinctive trait is a severe stutter for which he sometimes compensates by replacing his words. * * * * Porky Pig Speedy Services, at your service... * * * Original Animation Cel * * Size of cel: 9 x 10 1/2 inchesCondition: Excellent * This is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of the "The Looney Tunes."
