Porky’s Super Service

June 07, 1937

The Looney Tunes short, Porky’s Super Service, directed by Ub Iwerks and starring Porky Pig, was released on this date.

The opening shot, of the taxes added on to a gallon of gas, was a spoof on all the new taxes being levied by Congress. Social Security, for example, was a brand new concept in 1937 and many people were suspicious of its real purpose.
