Behind the scenes

The title is a pun on two things: One of them is a "hare/hair" pun being "false hair," like a wig.
The club name, Del Conejo, is the Spanish word for "rabbit."
This cartoon is known for the following marks:
- This is the last golden age cartoon to feature the Big Bad Wolf, the Wolf's nephew, Bugs Bunny, and although having made a small cameo appearance, Foghorn Leghorn.
- It was the last Looney Tunes-series cartoon to use both the colored bullseye rings since the 1935 Merrie Melodies cartoon Flowers for Madame.
It is also the last Warner Bros. Cartoons short to use the "That's all Folks!" closing titles.
- This is the last short to use Milt Franklyn's renditions of "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down".
- It is the last short under the Warner Warner. Cartoon unit to feature any recurring Looney Tunes characters.
- It is last short completed before Warner Bros. Cartoon studio was shutdown in 1963, although it was the second-to-last short released as Señorella and the Glass Huarach would be the last released, despite the latter being completed in 1961, as opposed the former being completed two years later.

Errors

When the short was Looney Tunes Super Stars' Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire DVD, it was cropped to a widescreen format. However, it was later reverted to fullscreen in the Bugs Bunny's 80th Anniversary Collection Blu-ray set.
