Porky tackles alcoholism

7/10

"Funny Porky short directed by Friz Freleng. The title is a pun on Calling Dr. Kildare; there's even a line at the start of the cartoon referencing it. In this one Porky is a doctor who gets more than he bargained for when a drunk comes in tormented by imaginary pink elephants. It's a wackier style of cartoon than I normally associate with Freleng but it's a fun one. Most of the humor comes from the drunk and the elephants. Porky's almost always the straight man in his shorts but here he's practically a background character. The animation is quite nice. Well-drawn chara..."

💡 Did You Know?

Although Porky is supposed to be a physician, the chair in his office is actually a dentist's chair.
