Heard a really interesting story on Weekend America this past weekend. Two-time US Poet Laureate, Billy Collins, talks about Looney Tunes’ influence on him, and shares some poetry to that effect.
A sample:
Porky
Happy only
when he is gardening alone
far from conversation
and the terrible stammering
far from Petunia, nag and tease
just resting on a hoe
unembarrassed
as he contemplates
the blue background of his flat world –
a Zen pig.

Last night I watched the Porky Pig cartoon with the two leprechauns…

Not the greatest of the classic Looney Tunes, but not bad.
After doing some looking around on Google about it I found some interesting stuff, but this Dell comic (#426, Sept/Oct 1952) cover caught my eye instead and it was too much fun not to include today.

Sure and here’s hopin’ ya have ye a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
