Creator Cameo: Outside the Gorgon's lair are statues of various Warner Bros. artists (including Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones) forming an impromptu picket fence.

Crashing Dreams: 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.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: The name "Porkykarkas" is a reference to Parkyakarkas, the stereotypicaly Greek stage persona of comedian Harry Einstein. The film also references an obscure 1933 film, The Emperor Jones.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
