Production notes


Series Title Card



Sergeant Deudeux's last appearance.

This time, Deudeux is voiced by Don Messick; he's usually voiced by Pat Harrington Jr., who also voices the Inspector. Normally the sleepy-eyed sidekick of the Inspector with a slight Spanish accent is exactly that-not to mention hesitant. The Deudeux in this short, however, is wide-eyed, alert and has a thick Mexican accent that sounds more like Baba Looey from Quick Draw McGraw. The little fellow is also very fawning and is willing to carry out every task that the Inspector makes him do - with a big smile. There is also no longer the "Don't say 'si.' Say 'oui.'" joke that normally appears in the cartoons.
