Animation credits go to Alex Lovy and Frank Tipper, though someone may be able to tell me if La Verne Harding and Les Kline worked on this as well.

Knock Knock Backgrounds
Background artists didn’t tend to get credited on cartoons until the mid-1940s. So it’s only a wild guess that Fred Brunish provided the backgrounds for the cartoon with the first appearance of Woody Woodpecker, “Knock Knock” (1940). I don’t know when Willie Pogany left the studio. The blend of colours and detail is terrific.

It makes sense that the Pandas' house would include a lot of bamboo woodwork—a clever touch.
ReplyDeleteI think that Lowell Elliott was doing the backgrounds at this time for Lantz. Mark Kausler
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark. I didn't realise he drew backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI guess Willie Pogany's stay was short.
