The "Well, I've been sick," line is used again in 1941's "Aviation Vacation" and "Africa Squeaks." A variant, "Aw, he's been sick," is used in "Foney Fables". Tex Avery would reuse the joke in two of his MGM cartoons, "Slap Happy Lion" and "King-Size Canary." Much later, Tweety would say the line in 1959's "Trick or Tweet", directed by Friz Freleng.
