This short was the most recent one listed in animation historian Jerry Beck's book ''The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes'', and one of only two released in the 1960s, giving this cartoon an argument as the last great Looney Tunes short of the classic era. The central premise and most of the gags are [[RecycledScript borrowed from]] the WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoon "WesternAnimation/HisBitterHalf", made a dozen years earlier. It was changed to make the stepson more likeable and the stepfather more hatable. There's also reused animation from "WesternAnimation/HareTrimmed". Freleng recycled the script and gags yet again for the 1970 ''Roland and Rattfink'' cartoon "A Taste of Money".

* VocalDissonance: You'd expect a big Neanderthal like Wentworth to have a [[SimpletonVoice deep, oafish voice]], but he instead has a very high-pitched child's voice. This shows that despite his hulking appearance, he really is just a sweet natured, innocent young boy.

* VillainProtagonist: As noted above, this Sam is the only as unapologetically crooked and dastardly as ever, but without a heroic Looney Tunes short in which Sam is Tune to play off with (i.e. his archenemy Bugs), he effectively stars as the star.protagonist of this short, albeit a villainous one.
