Porky Pig

Porky Pig is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. and Merries 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!" Porky's most distinctive trait is a severe stuuer, for which he sometimes compensate by replacing his words; for example, "What's going on?" might become "What's guh-guh-guh-guh - what's happening?"In the end of many Looney Tunes cartoons, Porky Pig bursts through  a bass drum head, and his farewell line "Th-Th-Th-Th-Th...That's all folks."
Porky Pig would appear in 153 cartoons in the Golden Age of American animation.

Mel Blanc plays the voice of Porky Pig, who also provided to voices of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
