Production notes

The last Tweety and Sylvester cartoon Michael Maltese wrote.

Sylvester gets the upper hand at the end of this cartoon. Some other ones are: "Catch as Cats Can," "Claws for Alarm,""Yankee Dood It," "Here Today, Gone Tamale," "A Message To Gracias," "Freudy Cat" and "Doggone Cats."

Two scenes were deleted from TV showings after 1994: one including a Japanese fisherman, and another at the end when Sylvester makes remarks about Italians.

This cartoon re-uses old gags from 4 other Tweety & Sylvester shorts:
  1. "Tweety's S.O.S.": The ship sequence.
  2. "Tree Cornered Tweety": Sylvester skiing to pursue Tweety and the bridge scene.
  3. "Tweet, Tweet, Tweety": Sylvester swinging on a swing to pursue Tweety and gets flattened.
  4. "A Pizza Tweety-Pie": Sylvester speaks in a italian accent and eats spaghetti.
