Porky’s Romance premiered

The Looney Tunes short, April 3, 1937

The Looney Tunes short, Porky’s Romance, directed by Frank Tashlin and featuring Porky Pig debuted on this date.

This is the first appearance of Petunia Pig. She was intended to be a recurring character, as the staff were trying to find a new character to star with Porky Pig. Petunia was unsuccessful, along with many other characters, and only starred in a handful of shorts and a couple of books. A second star would not be found until Porky’s Duck Hunt, Daffy Duck’s first cartoon.
