Synopsis
While playing a game of pool, Woody accidentally loses his cue ball and it rolls into a chicken coop, where it is mistaken for an egg by a chicken. Woody then spends the episode's duration trying to retrieve back the cue ball.
Notes
- The premise of Solid Ivory is similar to The Coo Coo Bird in that Woody winds up losing nearly every confrontation in the short (he does win one near the end). He also loses in Busman's Holiday, Tepee for Two, Woody's Clip Joint, The Tenant's Racket, Crowin' Pains, Banquet Busters, Real Gone Woody, Bye Bye Blackboard, The Beach Nut, Well Oiled, Shutter Bug, Phantom of the Horse Opera, A Lad in Bagdad, What's Sweepin' and Ski for Two.
- The title Solid Ivory is a play on the slang term "solid ivory", coined by Tad Dorgan, which meant someone who was thick-headed, an ignoramus.[2]
