  Porky the Fireman (1938)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Porky and his friends try to save a theatrical boarding house.
Whether the fire spells out messages, water from the fire hose plays Whack-a-Mole with the fire in the windows, or one character seriously needs his hearing fixed, the whole cartoon goes to show that nothing was sacred to the Termite Terrace crowd.
I will say that Porky and the other characters really started getting some of their best roles in the early '40s, but this is still worth seeing, if only as a historical reference.

Portis was also mentioned in "Bingo Crosbyana", "Porky's Pet", "Porky in the North Woods", "Sniffles and the Bookworm" and "The Case of the Stuttering Pig".
A familar name   Behind the hard-working fireman Porky, there's a reference to the writer of the cartoon, Melvin "Tubby" Millar.
At least some of these are similar to the "Picket Line" caricatures in "Porky's Hero Agency".

Back in those days, engineers were allowed to have their own whistles, and many a hogger was recognized by the distinctive toot of his engine.
We might note that in the phrase "He made the freight train boogie," "boogie" is used as a verb, not a noun.
In the '40s, hillbilly boogie was hot stuff, what with Arthur Smith's and Porky Freeman's various Guitar Boogie recordings, and the Delmores' own Hillbilly Boogie, Mobile Boogie, Steamboat Bill Boogie, Boogie Woogie Baby, and other variations on the theme.

There are other such examples: Many of the fl-and-white Porky Pig films have missing soundtracks for the logos and title cards, no doubt a result of poor handling when they were owned by "Sunset Productions/Guild Films".
It was the cartoon after that, "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" that Stalling redid the opening theme music and created an end theme that would last until the closing of the studio for J.L.'s 3-D mainia in 1953 (though those 'toons weren't released until early 1955).
And they used the right music to fix up "Porky's Pooch." But the used the wrong music for "A Coy Decoy" and all of the 1992 colorizations from the 1941-42 period that had their openings fixed up used the wrong music as well.

Particular standouts are the Oscar-nominated The Swooner Crooner (1944), in which farmer Porky auditions a raft of celebrity-impersonating roosters to incite his hens to lay eggs, and Nasty Quacks (1945), which features Daffy Duck at his malevolent best.
He employs elaborate montages of bugles blown and bayoneted rifles raised high in…Little Beau Porky (1936)…Little Pancho Vanilla (1938) utilizes simulated “camera movement” that was quite unusual for animated films of the period…Wholly Smoke (1938) opens with a fancy “tracking shot”…[and also] incorporates atmospheric “dissolves” that chronicle Porky's mounting cigar sickness and tobacco-bred hallucinations (6).
But the problem with arguments such as Ford's is that animation is film, and animators have at their disposal all the tools of filmmaking, including, but not limited to, camera placement and editing (7).
