Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of the cleaning tool, the feather duster.
- This was the final cartoon to use the original "bullet" sequence for the ending titles, alongside the 1953-1955 orange Color Rings.
- This cartoon was also the last-produced, but not the last-released, before the original studio shut down.
- This is the second and final cartoon where Miss Prissy has a more extensive vocabulary than her trademark "Ye-eeesss", as in A Broken Leghorn (1959), the character returned to only saying her trademark "Ye-eeesss." This was also her last appearance with her son, Egghead Jr. But he would make one more appearance in the [[[1960]] Merrie Melodies cartoon, Crockett-Doodle-Do.
