I presume that’s what soda jerk Krazy Kat is making in this 1931 cartoon. He is stopped after cracking the egg by something inside it—an old, mini-chicken (how old is that egg, anyways?)

The bird gives him the bird.

The bird un-cracks the egg, and then it's on to the next scene.

Perhaps the notable part of this cartoon is we hear the lyrics to the Krazy Kat theme, as Krazy and his girl-friend sing them to each other. I can’t make them out but they start “You are the cat’s meow” and end with “Poo-Poo-Pa-Doo.”
Ben Harrison gets the story credit, with Manny Gould as the animator. Joe De Nat does a nice job of synchronising the sound and I really like the backgrounds in the wolf’s penthouse. They're more attractive than a lemon soda with a raw egg.
Of course, there was also the old time soda fountain favorite an Egg Cream but seeing how that did not actually contain egg (nor cream) I assume your original guess is probably correct.
ReplyDeleteAladdin sure sounds like Jane Withers to me.
