Porky and Gabby is a 1937 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short directed by Ub Iwerks, the co-creator of Mickey Mouse. [2] [1] The short was released on May 15, 1937, and stars Porky Pig along with the first appearance of Gabby Goat. [3]

Contents

The cartoon was the first of four cartoons for which animation production was subcontracted by Leon Schlesinger to Ub Iwerks' Animated Pictures Corp. studio. [1] When production fell behind, Robert Clampett, Chuck Jones, and Robert Cannon temporarily joined the Iwerks staff to help with the animation. [1]

Plot

Porky Pig and Gabby Goat go on a camping trip, but car trouble foils it.
