Pinky Pig is Porky Pig's naughty, mischievous nephew. Whenever he isn't pulling not-so-harmless pranks on his Uncle Porky, little Pinky is always causing and getting into trouble.
Pinky first appeared in "Porky's Naughty Nephew" where he accompanied his Uncle Porky to the lake beach, he wasted no time pulling all sorts of pranks at Porky’s expense until one of his pranks finally backfired on him at the end.
Pinky's other appearance was in "Porky's Picnic" where he accompanied Porky and Petunia Pig to the park for a picnic. In this version, Pinky was much younger though every bit as mischievous and even tried to decapitate a squirrel. At the end of the short where Pinky made a second attempt, the squirrel was prepared this time and gave several spanks with a wooden paddle, fittingly in the same way Pinky had done to Porky during his nap earlier. In the end, Pinky was finally punished for his naughty behavior. Unlike Pinky’s first appearance, this short makes no reference to Pinky being Porky's nephew.
Later appearances[]
- In Looney Tunes Comics, Pinky once again is depicted as Porky's nephew, albeit renamed Cicero Pig. In these comics, he resembles a younger version of his uncle Porky.
- Cicero Pig first appeared in the sixth issue of Dell's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies comics where he was originally called "Algernon", and wears a sailor suit. He wouldn't officially be named as Cicero until a few issues later, where he is once again depicted as Petunia's baby cousin, similar in his depiction in "Porky's Picnic". [1]
- Pinky Pig appeared in children's records where he was once again named Cicero Pig and voiced by June Foray.
- Pinky Pig would return to animation for the first time in 82 years in the Looney Tunes Cartoons Season 2 short "Relax!" as Porky's troublemaking nephew, where he is renamed as Cicero Pig, much like in the comics. [2][3] He is voiced by Bob Bergen, who also voices his uncle Porky.
