* ExecutiveMeddling: Creator/ChuckJones got in serious trouble with his higher-ups for the use of the limited smudge animation, which was not considered the Warner Bros. style, and was briefly fired. For whatever reason -- variously ascribed to either poor communication, Jones thinking his firing was a joke, or Leon Schlesinger being busy sorting out a replacement for the recently-drafted Norm [=McCabe=] and not wanting the trouble of finding a replacement for Jones as well -- he didn't actually leave, and ended up being recontracted to Warner Bros. when Schlesinger sold up the following year. Jones would stay until 1963, when he broke contract for moonlighting (he was co-writing ''WesternAnimation/GayPurree'') and was fired for good.

* PlayingAgainstType: This is one of the few times Creator/MelBlanc's real voice comes out in one of his cartoons, specifically with Dan Backslide's voice. Granted, [[NoIndoorVoice he's constantly shouting]]. The closest regular character to his real voice is Sylvester, with a bit less snarl and without the spitting, albeit all the shouting he does here gives an effect somewhat closer to Yosemite Sam's voice.
