The cartoon is basically a remake of the Depatie-Freleng Pink Panther cartoon, [Pinto Pink].
The opening sequence is a nod to the earlier cartoon "Duck Amuck," although the person behind the animator's brush is not shown.
Daffy's 3-point landing with a pitchfork was slightly reused from an earlier Friz Freleng 1949 cartoon with Elmer Fudd, [Wise Quackers].
