    • Not counting this short, Daffy and Speedy's next pairing, Moby Duck, would be the first short to exaggerate Daffy's atagonistic traits, which were first seen in Stork Naked and The Iceman Ducketh.
  • This was Granny's last theatrical appearance with Sylvester.
  • This also marks both Daffy and Granny's final golden age cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, and the only DePatie-Freleng Daffy Duck cartoon to be directed by Friz Freleng in the golden age.
  • Sylvester and Granny's respective screen-times in this short are limited to just brief cameos or small appearances at the beginning as both of them are not seen for the rest of the short once Daffy arrives.
  • While this cartoon marked Sylvester's 100th appearance in the Warner Bros. shorts, he doesn't speak in this one.

Errors

  • When this short aired as a restored print on MeTV, it accidently left out the director card.
