Notes

This is one of the earliest Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts to be written by two storymen instead of just one; in this case both Michael Maltese and Tedd Pierce wrote this cartoon. For some reason both names are not credited by their actual names in the credits; instead they are credited as "The Staff" (probably due to the sparse on-screen credits of pre-"Hare Trigger" shorts).^{[citation needed|date=]}

Tom Turk would later reappear in the 1949 Daffy Duck short, "Holiday for Drumsticks", albeit redesigned and having a different voice.
This short was long believed to be in the public domain, however the copyright was, in fact, renewed in 1971.
