Porky Pig gets miffed at his stutter
#11
Tonight I was watching disc 1 of The Looney Tunes Golden Collection volume 6 box set. “My Favourite Duck” is a Porky Pig/Daffy Duck cartoon where Daffy torments Porky.
Porky’s stuttering never bothered me as a kid nor now because none of the other characters made fun of his stuttering. And Porky never showed that it bothered him.
I’ve never seen “My Favourite Duck” before so I was bowled over when I saw Porky get a little miffed at his stutter! You can see it on Youtube 2:36 mark:
What I like is Porky was only lightly miffed in a “what a pain in the arse stuttering is” sort of way that I sometimes react to my stutters. He didn’t beat himself over it or feel like a failure. Granted, there was no room in the script for it but still :)
