Nothing but the Tooth premiered

May 1, 1948

The Merrie Melodies short, Nothing but the Tooth, directed by Arthur Davis, and starring Porky Pig, debuted on this date. This short is seldom aired on TV due to racial stereotyping of Native Americans.

A billboard placed by Warren & Foster (a reference to Warren Foster) is shown in the scene where the Native gifts Porky Pig a feather headdress.
