Suicide-by-Gun is the main focus of a Looney Tune titled THE SOUR PUSS. Congress, in its willfully belligerent ignorance, has OUTLAWED any scientific study and official quantification of this Balm of Bullets). most of the 30,000 or 40,000 Gun Deaths happening in our American Homeland annually are Mercy Killings\Suicides (though the U.S. Even Porky's rocking chair in the opening scene has a flexibility all its own! Also notable is Porky's elasticity as he imitates a fish. Notice especially the flexibility of both Pussy and the fish in their respective moments of wild animation. "The Sour Puss" is a very good example of the energy that director Bob Clampett brought to the Warner Bros. The lunatic flying fish becomes a yo-yo for Porky and plunks away at Pussy's tail like an upright jazz bass. The musical accompaniment becomes a bright jazzy tempo as Porky gets up from his rocking chair to strap on his fishing gear when he informs Pussy that fish is on the menu for tomorrow evening's dinner, the cat is absolutely hilarious as he joyfully somersaults all over the house! As Porky amusingly counts sheep while sleeping, he only gives half credit to a tiny sheep. The one fish that they try to catch, however, might prompt them to reconsider their excitement this flying fish is such a screwball that he bears almost the exact disposition of a very early Daffy Duck! My favorite scenes from this cartoon include the following.

Porky and his pet cat Pussy are thrilled about the opening of fishing season. "The Sour Puss" is a great black-and-white Porky Pig cartoon directed by Bob Clampett. This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 and is well worth watching. The ending is very funny and I won't really spoil it except to note that the very end finishes with a parody of Lew Lehr, a comic who would have been very familiar to audiences at the time, but isn't a household name at this point. He basically dominates most of the rest of the short, giving both Porky and Sour Puss no end of heckling and abuse and periodically looking directly at the screen as if addressing the audience and making some hilarious remark, as the more manic versions of Bugs and Daffy would do, early on in their existence. Out fishing the next morning, they meet a fish who is the lunatic prince of all fishdom. Unfortunately, the next bit kind of stops the momentum by having a "counting fish" gag that isn't all that funny. He's bouncing around the room and ends up kissing a mouse, who doesn't take it very well (to say the least). To say that the cat greets this news with enthusiasm would be an understatement. The cat then imitates several animals, including a very funny chicken, only to have Porky top him by pantomiming a fish! Imagine, if you will, a cartoon pig pantomiming a fish.

Because I want to discuss some of the details, this is a spoiler warning: The first couple of minutes of this is great, with Porky deciding to go fishing and then asking his sleepy and lazy cat to guess what they will be having for dinner. This is a black and white Porky cartoon where Porky is basically an extra, with the dominant characters being a lazy cat and a demented fish.
