5 more days till the porkchop's 90th birthday. So like with Tom and Jerry, I'm gonna rank my top 5 favourite Porky cartoons spanning the next 5 days. Obviously his pairings with Daffy in the Chuck Jones' cartoons are the best but I do love some of his solo shorts too so I'll try to mix and match.

For my top 5 Tom and Jerry cartoons, I didn't mention this cartoon mainly because I didn't grow up watching it. However, upon closer examination, I can see why many people love this. This contains a lot of memorable gags squashed into an 8 minute short, almost feeling like a Road Runner cartoon.

One last Scribner animation to showcase. Here we see Daffy making 40s topical references and reacting to them in the most energetic way possible. It's a good choice to use Scribner here, he nails Daffy's emotions very well. Cartoon: "Baby Bottleneck" (1946, Bob Clampett)

Here's another of Scribner's excellent works, portraying Bugs' anger by making him look elastic and exaggerating his emotions simultaneously. He's also the first to showcase Bugs' new, modern design, which was created by Bob McKimson. Cartoon: "Tortoise Wins By a Hare" (1943, Bob Clampett)

Animator of this month is Rod Scribner, an animator who put the looney to the top in Clampett's 40s cartoons with the energetic movement and a lot of smeers. Here, you can see how easily apparent the emotions are for the characters on-screen. Cartoon: "Birdy and the Beast" (1944, Bob Clampett)

Gonna skip out on today's post sadly. Had a long day at work and came home sleeping throughout the day. I will let you know that the next few posts from tomorrow will be my animator of the month. Who is that you may ask? Here's a hint: they introduced the Lichty style to animation as a whole.

I'll be honest: Any Woody cartoon between post-Mel Blanc and pre-Barber of Seville isn't that good, though this cartoon is an exception. Kent Rogers' Woody voice is underrated, and he deserves much praise for keeping his obnoxious personality to a tee. Cartoon: "The Loan Stranger" (1942, Alex Lovy)

Today is Frank Tashlin's birthday, so I want to celebrate by showing one of my favourite cartoons, which is also one of my favourite screwball Daffy cartoons. The angular designs, quick timings, and sharp animation do this cartoon justice. Cartoon: "Nasty Quacks" (1945, Frank Tashlin)

The clip was suggested by @fauxrising.bsky.social Outside of comedic value, the background colours, the parallax scrolling, and the animation of the bird in the cartoon are excellent for a cartoon made in the mid-30s. Cartoon: "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor" (1936, Dave Fleischer)

That's gotta sting that you're trying not to scratch, but just can't bear having to remove that itch. I'm sure we all remember this cartoon for the "Hey, I better cut this out. I may get to like it." bit. Still gives me a laugh every time I see it. Cartoon: "An Itch In Time" (1943, Bob Clampett)

I love this one a lot. Seeing Donald change from his difficult-sounding voice to a British-sounding voice and then back to his normal voice is the best I've seen of his character so far. Cartoon: "Donald's Dream Voice" (1948, Jack King)

This is an underrated Bugs cartoon and one that needs a lot of love. This scene of the wolf not having time to eat Granny like in the book is hilarious given how much of a dope he acts in the cartoon. If you have time, watch this in full. Cartoon: "The Windblown Hare" (1949, Robert McKimson)

Today is Valentine's Day. So forget all your troubles and spend today finding love. Even if a mouse is ripping your skin and wants to be chased, don't worry—just spend some time with your loved one! Cartoon: "Springtime for Thomas" (1946, Hanna-Barbera)

(Hey for once the less than a minute Bluesky video length comes in clutch!) BRAND NEW TRAILER For The Day The Earth Blew Up is now available on the AMC Theaters website!

Here's another Pink Panther short, a classic one to say the least. The timing of the scream, the Pink Panther's scared look and the ghost sweeping the skeleton's bones did give me a few chuckles. Cartoon: "Pink Panic" (1967, Hawley Pratt)

Being Davis' only Bugs cartoon, he knocked his character out of the park by driving a man, who's down on his luck, to jump off a bridge. This final section of Brody jumping away when Bugs is in sight and hopping around is some hilarious stuff. Cartoon: "Bowery Bugs" (1949, Arthur Davis)

This was suggested by @fauxrising.bsky.social This marks the first cartoon in the Herman and Katnip series. While some gags are fine, I'm not the biggest fan as it feels like trying to capitalize on the success of Tom and Jerry while trying to copy Tex Avery's style in the weakest way possible.

And with that, the Tom and Jerry marathon is finally over. Glad a lot of you enjoyed my highlights. Gonna take a bit of a break from posting T&J clips to now post a daily clips from a variety of classic cartoon series.

1) The Cat Concerto (1947) - the definitive T&J cartoon ever and is the first one I saw. These gags always gave me a laugh many years later. Really hard to describe how excellent the cartoon is due to character limit. But if you haven't seen this, you need to watch it now. You won't regret it.

2) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse (1947) - this was one of the cartoons that introduced me to the series as a kid. This scene stood out to me, with Tom looking like a mad scientist poisoning the milk. Also, the ending of the cartoon always gave me a laugh. If you haven't seen this, then check it out!

3) Tee For Two (1945) - this is a personal favourite of mine and is always one I look fondly at when it comes to the series as a whole. The bee gag stands out as one of the best that builds up so elegantly that I ended up laughing every time Tom screamed in pain. Cartoon violence at its finest.

4) Solid Serenade (1946) - a cartoon containing so much energy that it's hard to look away once you started the cartoon. It has everything done to the max: Tom singing, the violent slapstick and everything feels so fast and catchy. Really keeps you on your toes.

In a few days, it'll be the 85th anniversary of Tom and Jerry so I'm gonna spend the next 5 days posting my top 5 favourite shorts. 5) Cue Ball Cat (1950) - an excellent and funny short with violence taken at the extreme, with Tom getting the sharp pin in his ass, and a cue rolling down his throat.

If MGM had this ball of energy like Butch who can do anything then WB has Sylvester who can do the same. In this case, he's locked at home and can only survive with cans of food, but tries and hilariously fails to get the can opener from the mouse. Cartoon: "Canned Feud" (1951, Friz Freleng)
