Porky's Tire Trouble is a 1939 Looney Tunes short directed by Bob Clampett.

Plot

Porky works at the Snappy Rubber Company. His dog named Flat Foot Flookey wants to follow him into work, despite the company not allowing dogs. Flookey is also a clumsy dog, so sneaking in will not be easy for him. Porky falls into a vat of rubberizing solution, and gets turned into several movie stars. Porky's boss, a walrus, drops several tires.

Caricatures

• Hugh Hebert

Trivia

• The name of Porky's dog, Flat Foot Flookey, is a reference to the popular 1938 jazz song "Flat Foot Floogie (with a Floy Floy)".
• Another character called Flatfoot Flookie appears in a Detective Daffy story by Gold Key Comics, but he was a fictional human sleuth and not a dog as in this short.
• The opening theme of this short was incorrectly used over the openings of a few black-and-white Porky shorts on the Porky Pig 101 DVD release, such as "Chicken Jitters" and "Calling Dr. Porky", because of audio issues with their interpositives.
