This memorial to Looney Toons animator Melvin "Tubby" Millar is at the northwest corner of a small park in Portis. Millar, the assistant to the creator of Porky Pig, worked the name of Portis, his home town, into several Porky Pig cartoons. See the link below for a little more. The memorial text is
IN MEMORY OF MELVIN "TUBBY" MILLAR
LOONEY TUNES PORKY PIG CARTOONIST AND
ASSISTANT TO FRIZ FRELENG, CREATOR OF PORKY PIG
The monument was erected in 1992 and they were careful to put a "TM" on the Porky Pig name!
