“The Cheerful Game of Porky the Pig” was one of three games in the set “Children’s Hour,” a 1946 offering from Parker Brothers.  The others were “Peanut the Elephant” and “ABC Fishing.”

Porky had no connection with the familiar character from Warner Brothers; I suspect there were numerous pigs called Porky over the years.  The deck featured a variety of animals and objects, all chosen to encourage the players to make noise.  Noise is fun; I like the crisp black, yellow, and red color scheme too.
