Percy Pig
is a friend of Mickey Mouse who appeared in comic
stories such as Fireman Mickey
,
Clarabelle's Boarding House
and Working to Win
, as well as a few
short gag strips now and then.
Unlike
Peter Pig,
Percy has a quick
temper, is an adult pig, and was a dress model for army tanks during
World War II. Percy's wife Patricia Pigg had a starring role in one
early cartoon, Mickey's Follies
(1929), as well as appearing in
various gag strips and having a major supporting role in 1941's Love Trouble
. Percy and Patricia Pigg are the only
Mickey Mouse characters to be enjoying married life. Their life must
be rather uneventful, because they have only shown up in a handful of
stories.
[Later addition:] Interesting update -- although Percy and Patricia are definitively shown as married in several stories, Patricia's last name is always spelt Pigg, while Percy's remains Pig. Patricia kept her last name when married.
