Tex Avery fills maybe a quarter of “Sh-h-h-h-h-h” with sign gags. The premise is the hotel where Mr. Twiddle is staying at is supposed to be quiet, so the communications are in silent signs. I like how the bellboy flips around one sign and it has three messages. No need to ask why it doesn’t have two (one on either side); it’s a Tex Avery cartoon.

The bellboy is bald in the shots from inside the room but has hair in the shots from the hallway. Somebody was drawing off-model (or else ink-and-paint screwed up).
ReplyDeleteLa Verne Harding animated this scene.
ReplyDeleteThe cuckoo clock bird seems to resemble a certain sociopathic woodpecker.
ReplyDeleteAlways wondered why Tex never directed a "Woody" during his time at Lantz.
Probably not the same Mr. Twiddle who was zookeeper at the Tiergarten where Wally Gator was resident.
