Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe school house is painted blue. There is a sign that says "The Little Red School House", and "Red" is crossed out. Underneath is another sign saying "Technicolor Red has Gone to War". This is a parody of the wartime ad for Lucky Strike cigarettes which said, "Lucky Strike Green has Gone to War" - as the green on the packages was changed to white.
- GoofsWhen Screwy goes to hit the truant officer dog with the kitchen sink, the sink starts out as a double-basin sink with one drain in each basin. When the sink hits the officer dog, the bottom of the sink is plumbed for a single basin with just one drain.
- Quotes
Screwy: [In the middle of a scene, a wolf goes by chasing Little Red Riding Hood; Screwy stops him] Wait a minute, pal. You're in the wrong picture, ain't ya, man?
[Pulls down main title card]
Screwy: See? The Screwy Truant, featuring Screwy Squirrel.
Wolf: Hmm. One of them corny B-pictures, eh?
Screwy: Oh, yeah? Listen, you. If you were my size, I'd bust you right in the nose.
Wolf: Oh, yeah?
[Wolf shrinks down to Screwy's size; Screwy shrinks even smaller and runs away]
- Crazy creditsA few minutes in, the Big Bad Wolf chases Little Red Riding Hood into the frame. Screwy pulls the title cards back down to show them they're in the wrong cartoon.

Featured review
He Must Have Been Paid a Lot
The most interesting character in this cartoon is the truant officer. Tex Avery gave him monumental abilities. But they do him no good against the impish squirrel. He counters every effort the officer makes to drag him off to school. Really, would one like to be in the same room with Screwy? It's a pretty well made little effort.
