Stalling. Released in 1940.<\/p>\n<p>This short is based on the book &#8220;The Pains Came.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At a hospital, we see that the floors are organized by the alphabet, leading me to believe there are 26 floors. We get some hospital gags including a paging for &#8220;Sir Jury&#8221; and a list of the days births. Not all surprisingly, the rabbits are winning with a total of 490. Proto-Bugs makes a cameo to correct the number to 750. What&#8217;s interesting is this came out after Bugs made his fully fleshed out debut in &#8220;A Wild Hare.&#8221; (But then, I&#8217;m sure both were being worked on at roughly the same time.)<\/p>\n<p>One ward is under the care of Dr. Chris Chun. (No relation to the amazingly charismatic Dr. Foolio.) He checks on his patients. Poor little Olley Owl has to shout that he can&#8217;t talk above a whisper, whilst another patient gets some good news: his bones are literally knitting. Herbie the hippo is in because he swallowed a piano. Cartoon or not, why would he do that? Is this a mental ward? That would explain Crazy Cat in the next bed. (Note: Crazy with a &#8220;C&#8221;, I don&#8217;t need to be sued.) He delights in playing said piano and annoying Herbie. It can&#8217;t be good for his digestive system either.<\/p>\n<p>Porky enters the scene asking for a doctor. Chun must be on lunch or something because that mentally unstable cat leaps at the chance. Introducing himself as Dr. Chilled Air, he asks the pig what&#8217;s wrong. Seems Porky ate too much at a birthday party: 3\/4 of a cake with the candles still lit! (Cool!) Making like a horror film, the cat puts him in a hospital gown and happily sings about his first patient. He wheels my pal into surgery and gleefully sharpens some knives. Porky is getting rightfully freaked out, especially when the phony physician starts aiming to saw him open without any anesthesia. Making a break for it, Porky runs for home.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Crazy McCutlery, is right behind. But Porky has a plan. When the maniac corners him in his bed he finds a sign on Porky&#8217;s gut: &#8220;Do not open until Christmas.&#8221; This doesn&#8217;t hold him for long though, as he hops in bed with him intending to wait. (I swear cat, if anything bad happens to my buddy, I will submit you to horrors so psychologically scarring, that you will turn sane with fear! Oh wait. This short is over seventy years old and Porky is still alive. My mistake.)<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOhhh, my poor b-be-b-be-b-be- tummy!\u201d\u201d Supervision by Robert Clampett; Story by Warren Foster; Animation by Norman McCabe; Musical Direction by Carl W.
