I’ve been looking forward a bit to your review of the upcoming short, remake comparisons are interesting even when the short itself is a bit of a dud.

YOU AND ME BOTH!!! i have like. Patient Porky is a weird guilty pleasure of mine because there was a small point in time when i was just getting into these shorts and really had only seen Bob Clampett’s filmography in chronological order up until that point, so i was oblivious to all of the better cartoons out there… but i was so fascinated by what a weird specimen of a short this one is that it became one of my most watched cartoons HAHA. it has no reason to exist and i hesitate to even call it a remake, because the term “remake” seems to have a sort of purpose behind it, whereas here i feel like it was just Clampett recycling parts of a much better cartoon and hoping that nobody would notice or care. it’s a great cartoon for those who want to see The Daffy Doc but worse in every possible way!

#there are things i do genuinely like about the short though HAHA… i love the song number and the ‘i made a pig of myself’ gag with the cake #in Porky’s stomach candles still a-blazin’ and one slice very politely taken out of it to indicate he had the courtesy to share… i love that #stupid sight gag way more than i have any right to #i’m probably the biggest defender of the cartoon despite there being nothing to defend and it’s not a good short by any means HAHAHA i can’t #get myself to hate it though. easily one of Clampett’s worst with that said #anonymous #asks #also watching that clip is so interesting because i didn’t pay attention to how Porky ‘s lollipop disappears in the next scene for Doc #it’s such an easy and seamless cheat.. but working in animation constantly has made me think about the placement of props and how to justify #their presence and how to get them off screen like i would have been wracking my brains trying to think of how to get rid of it in a way #that doesn’t detract from the main action or take up time and these crazy guys just cheat it entirely! i always love seeing cheats like that #because i can respect it so much
