Baby Bottleneck

Baby Bottleneck is a 1946 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Bob Clampett and written by Warren Foster.

Porky Pig takes charge of Storks Inc., assisted by Daffy Duck, who manages the phones.

Trouble arises when Porky discovers an egg without an address and decides to have Daffy sit on it until it hatches.

According to Bob Clampett, she says “Don’t touch that dial” (a common cliché when radio or television shows cut to commercial).

Michael Barrier writes, "Baby Bottleneck, like Book Revue (1946), reveals just how great Bob Clampett's impact was on the Warner Bros. cartoons in the early 1940s... As so often in Clampett's best cartoons, there is a prevailing air of hysteria and madness: The stork is drunk, inexperienced help is delivering babies to the wrong mothers, everything is a mess — and all is bliss.
