Porky the Tashlin Way

Frank Tashlin sure loved huge eyes on Porky Pig. An example from Porky’s Spring Planting (1938). He doted on close-ups for some reason, too.



Oh, and grotesque takes, too.



Joe D'Igalo gets the animation credit in this lacklustre cartoon, written by George Manuell. There are two radio jokes, a Stan Laurel joke and a Jewish joke.

  1. It's worth noting that this was Rod Scribner's first assignment as an animator according to the production number. Although Porky's Phoney Express was the first released with Scribner animation, it's important to look over the production code for this.

    I heard off this from Doodled on Twitter.
