Filming
For timing concerns, Doctor Bigot and Mr. Vandal were part of Captain Swipe's crew in animatics, Mr. Vandal threatened the kids with his axe, while Doctor Bigot (or Mr. Bigot) is a whole fourth wall joke about him existing, with Captain Swipe getting a call from someone called "Jay" who tells him that Mr. Bigot has to be cut, even though "Careen" has already drawn him.

Originally in the episode, the Gossipy Witch was going to spread gossip about Shag wetting the bed, but it was changed to making earwax sculptures. It was probably changed because they didn't want to offend any kids that wet the bed.

The episode was copyrighted in 2021.

Music
The music was composed by Ego Plum.

Behind the scenes

 * HBO Max lists this as a season two episode.
 * The opening theme gag is of Mildew tripping over a fire hydrant.
 * Kabong Scouts are a parody of the Girl/Boy Scouts in real life.
 * Scare Bear was Yogi's partner in Yogi's Space Race and Galaxy Goof-Ups.
 * Peter's pilot license gives his middle name initial as "V." At the end of the episode, Peter says that "Things are looking up for Peter Vasilios Potamus," revealing that his middle name is Vasilios.
 * The air sirens bear a resemblance to the parents and daughter of the Holiday family in the TV series The Roman Holidays.
 * Lotta Litter, Mr. Smog, the Gossipy Witch and Captain Swipe were villains in the TV series Yogi's Gang.
 * Snagglepuss has "Snag L." above his doorbell, which says "Ding dong, even" when you press it. The "L." indicates his surname is Lion.
 * El Kabong sits next to Bobbie Louie at the bus station without a single word, which is a reference to their patnership/friendship in the Quick Draw McGraw, albeit with a male version of Bobbie Louie called Baba Looey.
 * The credits refer to So-So as "SoSo."

Errors

 * The Gossipy Witch's actual name is the Gossipy Witch of the West.
