@pcostel1 Not exactly. There were a few other Abbott and Costello characterizations in following WB cartoons: 'A Tale of Two Mice' (1945) where they are mice instead of cats, a brief appearance as dogs in 'Hollywood Canine Canteen' (1946), and again as mice in 'The Mouse-Merized Cat' (1946).
My favorite is still 'A Tale of Two Kitties', but the others still have funny moments. I wish Tweety's character hadn't changed as much as he did in later cartoons.
@pcostel1 It's too bad there wasn't a Bob Clampett directed sequel with Tweety, Babbit and Catstello, instead of the re-characterizations of the other cartoons.
I still think it is strange that the most "RISKY" line ever uttered in a Warner Brothers cartoon (If only the Hays office would let me, ect.) was seconds before one of there most popular characters (the Tweedy Bird) was first introduced. Sure, the line was hilarious and if Bud and Lou would had seen this cartoon when first released theratically 70 years ago I am sure both would probably have fallen out of their theater chairs laughing.
@GavinThayer - I was surprised to see such an early and such a thinly-veiled reference to the middle finger all the way back in 1942! Not only that, but they added a direct shot at the Hays Office as well.
oh how much I searched for it! 5:25 when it says contact- contact, contact contact LOL!

"Give me the bird! Give me the bird!"
"If the Hays Office would only let me, I'd give him the bird all right!"
