Watching "Often an Orphan", it's surprising that Charlie Dog didn't become a regular Looney Tunes character. In this cartoon, he gets abandoned by his master and starts pestering Porky Pig to adopt him. When Porky refuses, Charlie launches into an emotion-manipulating monologue about the horrors of city life. It later turns out that Charlie is smarter than Porky.

So, maybe this wasn't the best Looney Tunes cartoon ever, but it's great just because of how Charlie says "Well then shaddup!" Only Mel Blanc could create a voice like that. Worth seeing. And I guess that you could say that Porky puts on a few "pounds" at the end.
