“I knew that’d get him,” Screwy tells us (he talks to the audience through the picture), then does his shoulder-hunch laugh before playing Meathead’s note like a Jew’s harp.
Screwy does one of his twirling exits back into the phone booth.
Meathead follows and it's on to the next gag.
I like Screwy. I don't know how many cartoons were left in him, but there are good gags in all of them before Tex gave up on him. I love the barrel gag in this one, where it turns out the drum roll on the soundtrack is being played by Screwy.
Heck Allen assisted Avery with the gags, with Preston Blair, Ray Abrams and Ed Love animating (Love did the above work). Wally Maher, using his Wilbur voice from the Tommy Riggs and Betty Lou radio show, is Screwy.
