Reply #27: Milk and Money [View All]

[TalkingDog]

Exit Commentary for today:

There is a very old Porky Pig cartoon that is one of my favorites. It's before they decided to portray Porky as an adult character. In "Milk and Money" Porky and his Poppa are trying to make it through the tough times of the Depression on their farm.

Mr. Viper, the evil landlord, come to collect the rent, which the Pig family does not have. Porky tries to help by selling milk, with predictable results.

A gleeful Viper tells the quivering pair that the must pay the rent or:

"I'll sell the Farm!!!"

Porky looks up at an anxious Poppa who declares:

"Things are lookin' mighty dark son, mighty dark."



mighty dark
