I caught the racist colloquialism... they cleaned it up a bit... it's just a monkey, dude. But, this toon is sort of retelling the legend of John Henry. Was that a concealed motive?

I vaguely remember this and quite a few more toons with Porky and Gabby Goat that were remade with some horrible looking type of color process. The black and white originals like this print look much better!!! Is there a chance we will see the toon with Porky trying to court Petunia Pig and her mean yappy little dog?

It wasn't "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down." It's also neat to watch this cartoon and see how Tashlin influenced Avery, Clampett, and Jones. Anybody know what the Looney Tunes music was?
