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, Woody's Clip Joint, The Tenant's Racket, Banquet Busters, Real Gone Woody, Bye Bye Blackboard, The Beach Nut, Well Oiled, Shutter Bug, 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.[1]
