Behind the scenes

 * This episode takes liberties in depicting its guest star as a Hanna-Barbera character, when in fact Droopy is an MGM/Turner character, owned by Warner Bros., who also owns the entire Hanna-Barbera library of characters. He was created by Tex Avery for MGM, not created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, although they did produce the last seven Droopy theatrical shorts. He was also briefly adopted by Hanna-Barbera, being one of the stars of Tom & Jerry Kids, and the star of its spin-off, Droopy, Master Detective.
 * Phil seemingly adopted Doggie Daddy in "Peanut Puberty."
 * This episode is a complete reversal of "Deadomutt Part 1," with Harvey and Blue Falcone's roles switched.
 * X's address is given as Cedarhurst.
 * Harvey's full name on a letter to X is Harvey T. Birdman, Esq. The middle initial contradicts "RR" given in "Deadomutt Part 2". He also types the former middle initial in a letter to Phil.
 * Droopy is watching Terms of Ol' Brian's Yeller Love/Endearment Song Story, references to the films Terms of Endearment, Brian's Song, Old Yeller, and Love Story.
 * Wally Gator's from "SPF," has been changed to Wally's.
 * The party banners crossed out include Harvey's 40th birthday in "Deadomutt Part 2," Harvey's intervention in "SPF," and Avenger's goodbye party in "High Speed Buggy Chase."
 * The transgendered model of Phil is later used for his sister (and wife) Phyllis in "Return of Birdgirl."
 * The surgically altered Peanut looks like the pulp comic character the Phantom.
 * Baba Looey's corpse can be seen at the crematorium, as he had died in "Guitar Control."

Errors

 * "Guitar Control" aired a few months after "Droopy Botox," so Baba's body being at the crematorium makes no sense as he wouldn't die until the next episode.
