At least one site lists this as the first "Flippy" cartoon. The crow could well be a cousin of Mr. Crow from the "Fox and Crow" series, which came out this same year. You may also know Sara Berner (voice of Mrs. Canary) best as Sniffles from the Warner Bros. shorts; she would also voice Andy Panda and Chilly Willy at Lantz Studios.
The reason there's a "Screen Gems" opening, 'malylotek', is because this is a TV print, circa 1958; when they began reissuing their feature films and shorts to local TV stations after 1956, Columbia replaced most of the original logos on 16mm TV prints with a Screen Gems logo, eliminating original title cards on their theatrical cartoons as well.
5:20 I've seen the Police Gazette appear in several cartoons, and it's always associated with lowbrow characters. I guess it was considered a lowbrow magazine - the equivalent of today's National Enquirer.
