It doesn’t take long for a sign gag to appear in Tex Avery’s early cartoons at MGM. Here’s an example in “Who Killed Who?” Tex sets up the mystery with some lovely night-time bluish backgrounds by Johnny Johnsen.
And then the camera pans over to a typical Avery sign.
There are no animation credits, but there’s no reason not to be believe Avery’s crew was Spence-Blair-Abrams-Love, with someone else handling effects.
Spence didn't work on this. His style isn't present in this cartoon.
