When I was a school boy, this atypical Merrie Melodies short popped up occasionally on television. I also caught it once or twice in a movie theatre. Even better, a 16mm color print appeared in the classroom from time to time.
Every Independence Day, my thoughts include Porky, role model.
I think about tater salad, too, but it never made a movie with Uncle Sam.
