Porky's Poppa is a 1938 Looney Tunes short directed by Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones.

Censorship
The Nickelodeon version of this cartoon cuts the part where, as Bessie is "birthing" bottles of milk, one of them turns out to be a bottle of chocolate milk with "I Wish I Was in Dixie" plays in the background and Bessie and Porky bashfully look away (the joke being that Bessie "birthed" a black child and, back when this cartoon was made, a white woman birthing a black child was considered socially taboo).[1] Cartoon Network (both on and off The Bob Clampett Show) and Boomerang have aired this uncut.
Notes
- This is the final short where Chuck Jones was an assistant director; eventually he would become an official director after Tashlin's departure later in 1938.
