Was Porky the original Looney Tunes character?
http://www.agsprint.com/~ktappe/wb/ David de Paoli
Porky *was*, however, the original Looney Tunes star, defined as an actor who draws audience just by name power. --Steverapaport
"Bosko" was basically a Mickey Mouse knockoff. He also looked a lot like someone wearing "blackface" makeup. So he was a loser on several fronts. Wahkeenah 10:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
I was wondering about that myself. It turns out Porky was listed that way in the 1996 movie "Space Jam". Unless someone can demonstrate that name was used in the classic WB cartoons, I think it should stay permanently out of the article. Wahkeenah 23:47, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
I removed this bit:
This little cartoon gets mentioned here every once in a while. I'm inclined to see it as mere trivia; why does it belong in the article? But this particular paragraph on it is troubling more for its original research. The word "presumably" is a red flag, and the bit "illustrating the relaxation of language constraints over the years" seems to be an interpretation that is not backed up with a source citation. For the moment, I've moved the paragraph here. — Amcaja ( talk) 05:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

at being reverted, but I wish the restored language didn't include the cringeworthy phrase "it's accompanying characteristic". — Tamfang ( talk) 06:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay. Here's the language to which User:FMAFan1990 has now twice reverted:
"its accompanying characteristic" is flabby and suggests, if anything, that stuttering automatically goes with paraphrasing – in which case the latter is not worth mentioning. The ellipses (except the first, which is tolerable but not as good as a dash) are dead wrong: "What's going on?" or "What's happening?" is a full sentence; there's no reason to infer that further words are omitted, which is what an ellipsis means. Capitalizing "Going" is also dead wrong, as it does not begin a sentence.
I first proposed this:
Perhaps that was too compact. My second attempt was more modest:
Either way, my proposed language says why he changes his words; perhaps FMAFan1990 considers that an impermissible inference (in which case "going on" should also be deleted). I also changed the first ellipsis to a dash, because that's the more common typographic convention for an interruption in dialog. The parentheses help clarify the sentence structure. — Tamfang ( talk) 02:34, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

The article currently states that Porky's signature closing like was "Th-th-th-that's all folks!" Is there a source for this? Because, I've never heard it this way. It always sounds to me like he's trying to start off with a different phrase, but, in Porky fashion, becomes frustrated when he can't get out his first thought and so switches to something simpler. To me, the phrase has always sounded like "Abadee-abadee-abadee-that's all, folks!" (I never could figure out what the "Abadee" was supposed to become--still, I never thought he was stuttering the relatively straightforward word "that's".)

If spelled out phonetically, Porky's signature line, as spoken in the cartoons, would come off something like, "Thu-thee-thu-thee-thu-thee ... That's all, folks!" Just1thing ( talk) 02:37, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

In Germany he is called "Schweinchen Dick" (as in, "Pig Dick", where "Dick" is the name). While that is funny to English people, "dick" in German also can mean "plus-sized" and means nothing lewd. As I tell that to an English speaker, I wonder if a list of international names of Porky could be included. -- Con spiration — Preceding undated comment added 20:12, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
