WHOLLY SMOKE

Air Date/Released Saturday, August 27, 1938
Station/Studio Warner Bros. Looney Tunes
Host/Star Porky Pig

On his way to church, little Porky is teased by a bully into buying a 5 cent cigar, instead of using it for the collection plate. Sickened by the cigar, the hallucinating pig wanders into a smoke shop and imagines all the tobacco products and pipes coming to life, and singing an anti-smoking song to the tune of Mysterious Mose.

Celebrity likenesses are used for the living cigars and cigarettes: Cab Calloway, Rudy Vallee, Bing Crosby, and the Three Stooges as "Pittsburg Stooges," i.e., stogies.

Crew: Frank Tashlin (Director), George Manuell (Story), Robert Bentley (Animator), Carl Stalling (Music)
