YMMV / Wholly Smoke

• Once Original, Now Overdone: Had the cartoon been made today, it would seem anvilicious and preachy beyond belief. However, in the late-1930s (when most people had little to no awareness of how bad smoking was for them), a cartoon with a direct anti-smoking message was practically unheard of. So, given its context, this short certainly qualifies. (That is, if it was made for health reasons. Plenty of people opposed smoking in the 30s but for moral/religious reasons rather than medical ones.)
• Values Dissonance: The portrayal of Blacks ^note via the Blackface scenes, such as a pipe cleaner sticking his head into a pipe and coming out looking like Cab Calloway and American Indians ^note via the scene where the tribe of peace pipes wrap Porky around a post and dance around him relied on outdated racial stereotypes. Needless to say, these scenes were Bowdlerized in later airings.
