Ah, good post Steve. From what I recall, it did come later, but I don't know which short was the first. I mainly remember it in the Shemp shorts, but it could have started in the later Curlys. At the rate the DVDs are coming out, we'll be able to determine it pretty soon.
NOTE: If you ever happen to see the Fox colorized version of DISORDER IN THE COURT, don't let it fool you. They added the eye-poke plink sound in addition to colorizing the short on that particular DVD. On Volume I of the new Sony sets, DISORDER is the original version without that sound effect.
