The climax involving Donald Duck getting a haircut on his butt was submitted by Carl Barks, his first sale.
The manner in which Donald magically pulls hats out of thin air to replace those taken by the Robot Butler is similar to the way he produces flutes in "The Band Concert".
This is the third and final cartoon to be originally released under Mickey Mouse's name, despite Mickey himself not appearing. The first was "Donald and Pluto" and the second was "Don Donald".
This short was director Jack King's first project at the Disney studio.
The different types of hats that Donald magically pulls out of thin air include Top hat, Napoleonic officer hat, Civil War kepi, Baby bonnet,
Bowler hat.
