I hate to burst everyone's bubble but you're all wrong. See, in the early days of Hollywood, the studio bosses often paired actors and actresses to make them appear more Everyman-like to the public.

The Warner Bros. did just this with Porky. Petunia was a struggling young actress, and Porky was a leading ham.

The truth was that Porky was linked to Wilbur, the pig from Charlotte's Web. Yes, Porky was gay, they had met on the set of Pigmailion.

As far as Petunia goes, she eventually disappeared. In an interview during her later years, Petunia would not admit to what she knew. She'd only say "I never sausage things like that...."
Petunia never made it in Hollywood, but her son was elected to Congress for his stance on ending pork barrel spending.

Yes, Porky Pig did have a girlfriend. Her name was Petunia. She was a doll.

Her name is p-p-p-p-p-Petunia p-p-p-p-p-Pig.
Petunia Pig is an animated cartoon character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons from Warner Bros. She looks much like her boyfriend, Porky Pig, except that she wears a dress and has braided black hair (which she originally did not have).

Petunia was introduced by animator Frank Tashlin in the 1937 short "Porky's Romance". The film is a parody of a 1932 Walt Disney cartoon called "Mickey's Nightmare". Whereas Mickey Mouse marries his longtime girlfriend Minnie in that film, Porky's ouvertures toward Petunia bring him only the scornful laughter of his porcine paramour. Tashlin quickly adopted Petunia as a regular member of Porky's entourage and featured her in two more cartoons: "The Case of the Stuttering Pig" and "Porky's Double Trouble", both in 1937. Voice actors Bernice Hansen and Shirley Reed each performed Petunia's voice in various shorts.


Petunia Pig as she appears now.Bob Clampett was the only other Warner director to utilize Petunia after Tashlin left the studio in 1938. He first featured her in Porky's Picnic, a 1939 film that sees Porky tormented by his nephew Pinkie. Pinkie and Porky's encounters are always out of sight of Petunia, of course, so she naturally blames Porky for everything that goes wrong thanks to the practical-joking piglet. Petunia's largest and most involving role came in Clampett's 1939 short Naughty Neighbors. The film borrows elements from both the famous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys as well as Romeo and Juliet as Porky and Petunia's love for each other is stymied by their respective hillbilly families' mutual hatred. Despite her more prominent role in the short, Petunia is still nothing more than a supporting character; Porky remains the star.

As Porky's popularity was eclipsed in the late 1930s and early 1940s by brasher, funnier characters like Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny, he was quickly relegated to a supporting player himself in new Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts. Petunia, already a bit player to Porky, fared much worse. She still appeared occasionally in Warners merchandising, but her tenure as a Warner Brothers player were mostly over. Nevertheless, she has enjoyed the occasional new role. She is a regular in the Baby Looney Tunes television series and an occasional guest star in the Looney Tunes comic book, for example. She is also very common in the All New Tunes on the Looney Tunes' official site.
