"Bosko" was basically a Mickey Mouse knockoff. He also looked a lot like someone wearing "blackface" makeup. So he was a loser on several fronts.

I'm looking in vain for a page that lists all the entries in the category "Fictional pigs". Maybe we need a page for it. So far I'm coming up with these:
*The Three Little Pigs
*Porky Pig
*The pig from "Charlotte's Web"
*Arnold from "Green Acres" (except it was a real pig, although 'Arnold' might only have been its "sty"ge name)
*whoever the Beatles were talking about
*The pig from "Animal Farm", I think its name was Napoleon
*The pig from the "Babe" movies (maybe it ''was'' "Babe", I don't know, I didn't see those flickers)

Was Porky the original Looney Tunes character?

Looks like "Bosko" was the first character according to here

That's right: The insipid "Bosko", of "Sinkin' in the Bathtub", 1930.
