Censorship
- The version of this cartoon shown on FOX's The Merrie Melodies Show edited the part where Wentworth plays cowboys and Indians to remove the part where Wentworth fakes getting shot.[1]
- The version of this cartoon shown on Nickelodeon's Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon edited the part where Wentworth cautiously tries to light a string of fireworks as Nickelodeon censors feared kids will imitate this dangerous act.
