In the Friz Freleng short Curtain Razor (1949), a hen auditions for talent scout Porky Pig, and lays an egg. Really.
The chicken takes her egg and rather snootily walks away. Porky takes care of her through a trap door.
But wait a minute! Looks who’s in the egg!
It looks like Tweety. But Tweety isn’t a chicken.
So is it really Tweety? It is the Freleng unit just reusing a character design? Or is it Tweety playing the role of a chicken?
It doesn’t make much difference, but some fans get all anxious about this kind of thing.
Gerry Chiniquy isn’t credited among the animators in this cartoon, for some reason. Manny Perez, Ken Champin, Virgil Ross and Pete Burness are.
This reminds me a bit of Trap Happy Porky (1945) where it's unclear (to me at least) if the mice in that cartoon are supposed to be Hubie and Bertie; they look like them (same color scemes), but they lack their usual personalities from their debut and appearances afterwards. Jones simply could have reused their designs like he did in other shorts. (The Odor-able Kitty, Fair and Worm-ier, From Hand to Mouse, etc...)
