The first of two appearances by Elvis and Pappy Buzzard. They would later appear in a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon, The Dixie Fryer (1960).
Mel Blanc's fellow voice artist Daws Butler voiced the drawling buzzards.
Bugs also appears as a local female character (in drag) in "Hillbilly Hare."
Pappy's initials (from the mailbox) are B. O. - perhaps a reference to Body Odor. This may be inferred from the presence of the flies flying around him.
Backwoods humor had been a part of film and cartoon plots since the earliest days. It would continue on to TV shows in the years after this short was released, until the networks were filled with sitcoms depicting the rural way of life.
