Appearance/Personality
Gabby Goat is a goat with gray fur and a brown sometimes red sweat shirt. The goat's chief characteristics are his irritability and short temper, traits that make him a natural foil for the shy, easy-going Porky. The concept didn't play out as well as the animators would have liked, however; audiences felt that the goat's behavior was too offensive to be funny. Audiences would later warm up to the character a little more when Gabby would be given a sample of shorts on his own to be a potential new somewhat lead character and his anger was dialed back a bit. They did like Gabby with Porky, but Daffy ended up being the winner of the full sidekick position. Later on, fans would go on to like him on modern media.
