In Porky's early days - before Mel Blanc provided his voice - it seems like he got into everyday situations that the animators reworked into wacky forms. An example is Tex Avery's "Porky the Wrestler". This one features the obese porker thumbing a ride with a wrestler (with the most Slavic surname that I've ever heard). But when they arrive at the arena, the wrestler falls into a hole in the ground and the people mistake Porky for the wrestler. So, he has to battle a big monster of a wrestler...but of course they make it really crazy! So, if absolutely nothing else, it's a look into Warner Bros. animation's early days, before they got, well, loony. Still, plenty of sight gags abound (especially when Porky, the wrestler and the referee play train; I couldn't have predicted that in a million years!). All in all, a pretty good one.
