Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun of the Goodson-Todman panel game show, What's My Line?
- This is the last Elmer Fudd solo cartoon, and the final time Elmer had a speaking role which was provided by Hal Smith. Elmer would make one last appearance in the 1962 Merrie Melodies cartoon Crows' Feat, albeit as a silent character .
- Rocky the Mountain Lion bears a close resemblance to Pete Puma, another character created by Robert McKimson.
