'''''Porky's Hero Agency''''' is a 1937 ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short directed by Creator/BobClampett, and starring WesternAnimation/PorkyPig.
In this short, Porky, depicted here as a child, falls asleep reading Greek mythology and dreams that he's the hero "Porkykarkas". He is hired by the Emperor to vanquish the Gorgon, who is turning the populace into statues, and steal her life-restoring needle.
----
!!This short provides examples of:
* CrashingDreams: Near the end, the Gorgon has Porky pinned and tries to make him open his eyes. The scene then fades to reality, where Porky's mother is trying to get him awake for the morning.
* CreatorCameo: Outside the Gorgon's lair are statues of various Warner Bros. artists (including Creator/BobClampett and Creator/ChuckJones) forming an impromptu picket fence.
* MonkeyMoralityPose: Three of the Gorgon's victims are turned into statues that take on the "wise monkey" poses.
-->"Guess I made monkeys out of them!"
* PictorialSpeechBubble: When Porky fears being turned to stone, a thought bubble appears showing him as a piggy bank.
* ShoutOut:
** The name "Porkykarkas" is a reference to Parkyakarkas, the stereotypicaly Greek stage persona of comedian Harry Einstein.
** The Emperor is shown making a [[UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt fireside chat]].
** The needle is called the "bring-em-back-alive life restorer", a reference to Frank Buck's bestselling book ''Bring 'Em Back Alive''.
** The Gorgon is based on Lizzie Tish, a character from radio's ''Al Pearce and His Gang''.
*** Porky says "I hope, I hope, I hope", the catchphrase of another Al Peace character, Elmer Blurt.
** Among the Gorgon's victims are [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Film/TheThreeStooges.
** At one point, Porky says the title of the song "No! No! A Thousand Times No!"
** Porky disguises himself as Dick Opowello, a mash-up of the hero Apollo and movie star Dick Powell.
** While restoring the stone statues, Porky places a pair of ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} arms on the Venus de Milo statue, complete with the sailor man's theme playing. He also uses the needle on a temple, and then on a smaller one marked [[Creator/ShirleyTemple "Shirley"]].
* TakenForGranite: Here, the Gorgon petrifies people using a special camera, and the effects are reversed by a magic needle (depicted as a syringe).
* TravelingSalesman: A statue of a salesman sticking his foot in the door is used as a doorstopper for the Gorgon's lair.
