Well, in honor of mothers everywhere, (including my own; who I don&#8217;t think has ever visited this place) this will be the last one for awhile. And there&#8217;s no better way to end things off, than with my brother from another porcine mother: Porky!<\/p>\n<p>Said b.f.a.p.m. is working as a constable. And he has decorated his place quite nicely. He has a bunch of hand prints on the wall labeled as a &#8220;Fingerprint Dept.&#8221; (Fittingly enough, all the prints have three fingers and a thumb), a letter A labeled as &#8220;Exhibit A&#8221;, a rather sizable limb that is &#8220;The Long Arm of the Law&#8221;, and several wanted posters. (In the case of the woman, she&#8217;s just simply wanted.)<\/p>\n<p>And where would a constable be without a trusty bloodhound by his side? Old Eggbert might be a bit lazy, but his sense of smell is second to none. Good thing too, as there&#8217;s a German spy on the loose! A feline fellow by the alias of: The Missing Lynx! (Or maybe that <strong>is<\/strong> his real name. Poor guy probably had no choice but to be a spy) Befitting his title, this spy is a master of disguise. I mean, you&#8217;d have to be to fool Porky. But it only lasts so long before the pig realizes that the strange person who can make himself look exactly like someone he&#8217;s never seen and is wanted by the law, might, just <strong>might,<\/strong> be the spy of which he seeks.<\/p>\n<p>And what is this guy even doing here in the states? He&#8217;s going to blow up a bridge! Well, that&#8217;s what he intends to do. Despite the fact he is capable of keeping Porky away by donning a Porky mask and ordering him away, (Said mask is now in my hands. No shame) Eggbert was able to grab the bomb bag and return it to the Nazi. He hands the explosive to Porky and ducks into a nearby cave. Once he realizes why the bag is ticking, Porky joins him. Eggbert comes too. (Dogs are pack animals.) Eggbert has been sneezing throughout the whole short, and he lets one loose here as well. Porky and the lynx are flung through the air. Porky is saved by grabbing onto a pole, but the lynx ends up embedded in a cliff wall with the bomb at his feet. But wouldn&#8217;t you know it? The bomb was a dud. Angered, he bangs it on the ground in frustration. That was all that was needed, and they spy is no more. He may be dead, but he&#8217;s just happy his bomb worked after all.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;That guy sure d-d-does act suspicious.&#8221; Supervision by Norman McCabe; Story by Don Christensen; Animation by I.
