I heard from Mel Blanc himself(when he was making a college tour in 1976 and I had the chance to ask him what companies he worked for)that he had worked for Ub Iwerks in the early 1930s. After the company folded, he went to Warners(and so did animator Chuck Jones and musical director Carl Stalling).
Released on November 24th, 1938. Ub Iwerks was the director. Mel Blanc was part of the cast. Charles Mintz (yes that Charles Mintz who "stole" Oswald from Walt) produced the short.
Above average for Columbia. A plot might have been nice. This looks like it's from a very old and beat-up Technicolor print. As it's unlikely the negative exists, this is probably as good as it's going to get.
6:29 Talk about literally "flipping the bird."
How long have ghosts with red noses and derby hats been a thing?
Disney's Lonesome Ghosts had them too.

The salesman ghost was imiatating Al Pearce an old time radio comedian. "No one's home , I hope , hope , hope"!
Yes , that is Mel Blanc speaking in this cartoon. The man of a 1000 voices.
At the time Mel was doing voices for nearly every animation studio up until he signed his exclusive contract with Warner Brothers.
This cartoon was first seen on “King Leonardo and His Short Subjects” in 1960.
No.
I have a 35mm copy of this, missing opening and ending credits. :-(
