- Part of the title, "Drip-Along" is a pun on "Hopalong," which is derived from Hopalong Cassidy.
- This cartoon was produced as a parody of the classic Western films that were widely popular at the time of its release.
- In a tongue-in-cheek nod to The Lone Ranger's horse Silver, Daffy's horse is name Tinfoil.
- The final scene is a nod to the ending of the 1937 Merrie Melodies short, Egghead Rides Again, which featured Egghead given the job of cleaning up after the cows and horses following his failure as a cowboy. Coincidentally, Egghead's voice in that cartoon is very similar to Tex Avery's early "screwball" version of Daffy Duck.
