This is the only Wile E. Coyote / Road Runner short ever to be nominated for an Academy Award.
The title is a parody of the American Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared.
Wile E. Coyote's pseudo-Latin name in this cartoon is "hungrii flea-baggius" and the Road Runner's pseudo-Latin name is "tid-bitius velocitus".
The final scene shows a fanciful rendition of the constellation Sagittarius, the archer.
Only Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote cartoon to have a night scene during the classic era.
