Blitz Wolf Zoom

Words form on the screen in a scene from “Blitz Wolf” (1942). First, a bomb turns into a bottle opener to rip the top off a tank. Adolf Wolf quickly escapes.



Then it blows up with a “boom.” We know that because the cartoon tells us.



And here’s another letter formation in the next scene.



Devon Baxter via Mark Kausler tells me this is a Ray Abrams scene. Ed Love, Preston Blair and Irv Spence also get animation credits in this great Tex Avery short.
