| BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: |
In his first appearance Peter is revealed to be slothful and greedy. Upon his introduction, in the studio release before the theatrical premiere of "The Wise Little Hen" it is said that the Three Little Pigs came to Walt Disney and asked him to find an acting role for their cousin, Peter. Walt agreed and Peter's career was launched. Unfortunately, perhaps because of his grating voice, he was outshined by another newcomer,Donald Duck. Peter's only other notable appearance was in "The Band Concert" where he plays the tuba, and another male pig (perhaps a relative) named Paddy Pig is seen playing the trumpet. In his few comic book appearances he often accompanied Donald Duck and both were employed at a newspaper company. His arch-rival was the crooked reporter John Gatto. |
| HISTORICAL FACTS: |
About Peter's film and comic career there is barely a whisper of information available anywhere, though tidbits can be found (i.e. "Mickey Mouse: His Life and Times" by Harper & Row Publishers). Thus it is left to fans to remember these long-lost barnyard friends of Mickey's. |
