Porky's Bear Facts

Porky's Bear Facts is a 1941 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon animated short directed by Friz Freleng.

Having no work to do, and taking it easy, too - The Bear.The attitudes of the two central characters in this cartoon short - Porky Pig and an unnamed bear - form the main plot of this Aesop fable adaptation, with Porky taking the role of the tireless, hard-working ant and the bear the role of the grasshopper, the lazy indigent who would rather do nothing.

Porky is also shown stockpiling his basement and canning food in anticipation of leaner times.

The scene then pans over to the neighbor's farm, where a lazy bear is strumming on his ukulele, the song "Working Can Wait" (a parody of the song "Heaven Can Wait") extolling the virtues of not having to work and just relax.

Then, he spots spring about to arrive ... the bear sprints back to his porch, singing "Working Can Wait."
