It’s a good thing this is a fun blog and not one of those intellectual ones where I would pontificate on the symbolism behind the scene involving the rooster crow.
Walt Clinton, Ed Love, Preston Blair and Ray Abrams are the credited animators, with backgrounds by Johnny Johnsen. Avery and writer Heck Allen borrow from, and use, Red Skelton’s Clem Kaddiddlehopper character as a starting point for this 1946 cartoon.
Fortunately the intellectual types do their in-depth meaning analysis of the wolf's reaction in Avery's Red cartoons, and leave this one alone (though to be fair, this one's middling Avery, with Lem's reaction here just a throwaway gag. He'd do more with the idea of an aroused character from down on the farm in "Little Rural Riding Hood").
