Curiosidades
Doughboy was a popular nickname for the American infantryman during World War I. Though the origins of the term are not certain, the nickname was still in use as of the early 1940s.

Citações
Porky Pig: Hello ladies and g-g-g-g-gentlemen. We're going to show you some s-s-s-s-sensational movies, and they're just chock full of m-m-m-military secrets. So if there's any Fifth Columnists in the audience, will they p-p-p-please leave the th-th-theater right now? Thank you.

Versões alternativas
This cartoon was colorized in 1992, with a computer adding color to a new print of the original black and white cartoon. This preserved the quality of the original animation.

Surreal War Short

Meet John Doughboy (1941)

*** (out of 4)

This is a rather interesting Merrie Melodies short and starts off in a theater as Porky Pig introduces the "film" that's about to play. The film is basically showing what all happens in the Army and other services and you have to give it credit that nothing like this would be attempted today. We see countless jokes aimed at a variety of topics including a British "spitfire" plane that actually spits fire. Another joke deals with the draft where a man thinks he's too small to get in the service and then we get the payoff. There's even jokes about "Citizen Sugar Kane" and we are asked what would happen if America ever got invaded. That last joke certainly looks a lot different when viewed today. This B&W short runs just 7-minutes but there's not a slow moment to be found. Not all of the jokes work but when viewed today you can't help but get a surreal feel from it and especially when you consider what was coming up just a few months after this thing would have originally been seen. The animation is the usual high standards.
