Porky Pig #40

In "Robot Bird," Porky’s new parakeet escapes, sending him into a panic—especially since Petunia’s expecting a gift. Bugs, meanwhile, is testing a prototype robot bird retriever for his employer, but when the machine returns with a suitcase, a potted plant, and a stray sock, it’s clear the parakeet’s still out there.

In "Porky Pig Meets the Great Optic," Porky confidently claims he can't be hypnotized—until he volunteers for a show by the mysterious "Great Optic," only to be instantly under. When a fire breaks out in the theater, Petunia and Cicero are left with a still-hypnotized Porky, who now acts exactly like any animal they mention.

In "The Builder," Porky Pig sets out to surprise Petunia with a summer cabin on a lakeside lot, only to find his DIY dream quickly derailed by classic construction chaos. When the lot itself breaks loose and floats away, Porky’s building plans take an unexpected and watery turn.

In "The Rag Rug Roundup," Petunia’s hobby show entry—a rag rug—needs more material, so she sends Porky on a rag-collecting mission. When Elmer and Sam spot Porky rummaging through discarded scraps, they mistake his plight for poverty and try to help by buying him new clothes.
