Tweety:Tail of Two Kitty Butts

Investigations resulting in yesterdays post, Melvin Williams RIIP: Bird On/Under the Wire (UPDATE), led to "bird" cartoon characters: Heckle and Jeckle and Woody Wood Pecker.  So I got to thinking (as is intended I'm sure) that perhaps Tweety has one or two things to say.

Tweety made his grand debut in a 1942 short cartoon called A Tale of Two Kitties.The title is an obvious pun on the Charles Dickens classic, A Tale of Two Cities.  For this post, I went to the  Tale of Two Kitties (1942) IMDb page, and from there investigating each of the cast and crew.  As per usual, I looked to see if anything stood out in regards to the names, note the following three:
So first of all we have two Robert's and so an addition to the recent "Robert/Bob(float)/Rob(steal)..." pattern-cluster, and I decided to throw in "Rod" given that it's essentially a cryptic form of "Rob" with only the last letter in reverse-- the "b" turns into a "d".  Rob turns into Rod... hmmm, it seems rational to consider the communication to be : rob and you get the rod.  Of course the inner twin world have made it abundantly clear, the "rob" they are refering to is "censorship"-- denying their voice (butt having said that, this too-- the censorship, is as planned... designed as part of their means of coming out and communicating to us).  Now the surnames mean something as well, especially Scribner... meaning a "scriber"... or commonly known today as "writer".  And if you've read my posts as of late, you should know where this is going, who the inner twin world are singling out, Rob MacGregor... and yes he is a verified bonified writer.

Note from Scribner's wiki page:
  • Rod Scribner (October 10, 1910- December 21, 1976)(age 66)
He was born on 10/10/10!!  And died at the twin age of 66!!  

Note from the wiki pages of all notable persons (cast and crew): 
  • Robert Emerson Clampett (May 8 - May 4).  
  • Warren Foster (October 24, 1904 - December 13, 1971) (61)
  • Mel Blanc (May 30, 1908 - July 10, 1989) (81)
  • Tedd Pierce (August 12, 1906 - February 19, 1972)
  • Leon Schlesinger (May 20, 1884 - December 25, 1949) (65)
  • Treg Brown (November 4, 1899 - April 28, 1984)
  • Sidney Sutherland (August 7, 1901 - April 20, 1968) 
  • Carl Stalling (November 10, 1891- November 29, 1972) (81)
  • Robert McKimson (October 13, 1910 - September 27, 1977 ) (66)
  • Richard Thomas (January 3, 1915 - December 31, 1996)
There is more that is communicated via the names and dates, butt I won't go into that at the moment, butt continue with Tweety.  
The Tweety I grew up with is bright "canary" yellow, BUTT,  according to his wiki page, his first appearance was as a "flesh colored canary".  So he had evolved over time.  The image below was taken from "A Tale of Two Kitties" wiki page:

What strikes me is that it's an image of Tweety's "butt"... and indeed he is "flesh" coloured... looks like a naked bird... a baby bird, and perhaps that was the original intent.  Strange use of the word "flesh" to describe a "peachy" colour, given that human skin varies from near pale , to peach and then every shade of brown imaginable ... no one is truly black or white tho.  Now the fact that the image of Tweety shows his butt in the air is designed to communicate something and I'm quite sure that the reference is to... 

tou bee continued ...
