haha! I remember this one.
I like how Porky Pig thinks he's supposed to follow the directions in the child psychology book when in reality the mother just uses it to spank her son lol.
As for the question, I choose old Looney Tunes no contest.
This is excellent New Age Reto Hippie. Yes, Rosie the Riveter needs Porky to babysit Butch. When she tells Porky, "If he gives you any trouble . . . use the book", she means to spank him with but Porky misunderstands and actually reads the book!
That's the hook that carries the entire cartoon and it's such a good hook that the Warner Bros. boys use it in several cartoons of the era. It still fascinates me that psychology, or books on psychology, form the main plot point for so many crazy cartoons that I saw as a kid.
Wasn't there a whole series of toons where mice use psychology to help old,depressed cats improve their spirits, or face having a newer, younger cat enter the scene and actually catch them?
