The first of the What A Cartoon! original shorts, after two former shows 2 Stupid Dogs (1993) and Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron (1993) were both canceled. Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990) were meant to finish the fifth season, but the show was renewed for a sixth and final season and did not last long after Cartoon Network premiered the anthology short.
This short was originally titled as 'Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins', but they retitled as 'Meat Fuzzy Lumkins' as part of the short's reruns.
This short was originally premiered on February 20, 1995 as part of Space Ghost Coast to Coast's President's Day sneak peek preview, but then Cartoon Network decided to air the first short with a rerun in a slot on March 12, 1995, designated as the third short as part of the Sunday night block after the President's Day sneak peek from Space Ghost.
This was the third short produced but the first to be broadcast. Cartoon Network previewed this short as a President's Day "sneak peek" from Space Ghost Coast to Coast (1993).
