Origin[]
The Fussy Seals are characters featured in the animated short Who's Who in the Zoo (1942). They have been getting terribly fussy lately. Porky is seen feeding the seals fishes, except one seal refuses a piece (slamming it back, striking Porky's face).
Who's Who in the Zoo is one of the cartoons that Warner would occasionally produce, particularly in the World War II era, that featured a series of loosely related gags, usually based on outrageous stereotypes and plays on words, as a narrator (in this case Robert C. Bruce) describes the action. The plot is substantially similar to that of 1939's A Day at the Zoo, except that Porky Pig appears as the zookeeper of the "Azusa Zoo.

Notes[]
- This cartoon entered the public domain in 1970 due to Warner Bros. not renewing the copyright.
- Despite Porky Pig being heavily featured in Who's Who in the Zoo, Porky himself does not enter the public domain until 2031 due to his first cartoon, I Haven't Got a Hat (1935), still being under copyright.
