One of Bob McKimson's best, and further proof that he's perpetually under-rated compared to the "Big 4" WB directors (Avery, Clampett, Jones, Freleng).
Personally, I find his short features more watchable than either Avery's or Clampett's, although part of that has to do with the fact that both the art form and the characters were further evolved by the time McKimson was directing with his own production unit. But don't discount McKimson's animation as being a BIG part of Clampett's successes either.
I would rate this, along with "Boobs in the Woods" as two of McKimson's best. Both hold their own in comparison to the best of Freleng and Jones' cartoons.
