Production notes

A cartoon similar to Warner Brothers' "Dr. Jerkyl's Hide" (1954), except instead of two dogs, they're two toads, and instead of a cat, it's a grasshopper.

This series was renamed "The Texas Toads"- and the characters renamed Fatso and Banjo- when these shorts were broadcast on television as The Pink Panther Laugh and a Half Hour and a Half Show on NBC in 1976.

This cartoon marks the Tijuana Toads' first appearance.
