The Blow Out is a 1936 Looney Tunes animated short film starring Porky Pig. It was directed by Tex Avery.
[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In the cartoon, "The Mad Bomber" repeatedly tries to blow things up with a bomb (a stereotypical cartoon bomb: round, black, with a burning fuse). Porky keeps returning the bomb to him, thinking he has lost it, and inevitably, the bomb blows up in the anarchist's face.
Spoilers end here.
[edit] Outside references
Thomas Pynchon refers to the cartoon involving "Porky Pig and the anarchist" several times in his novels The Crying of Lot 49 and Gravity's Rainbow.
