This cartoon was heavily edited on Cartoon Network to remove several racist/blackface gags: 1) The aftermath of a lightning strike on Spike; 2) Spike becoming a burnt crisp after a burning house burns down completely (this scene is left in, but cut Droopy's line "Hey blackie, any more babes in there?"); 3) The scene where Spike collects a cash reward from a rich British man who had a bomb in his hat was shortened to end at the bomb-induced explosion, because in the uncensored version, the scene continues after the explosion with the two characters looking like poor black stereotypes with tattered clothing and the former rich man throws burnt paper scraps in the air while counting incorrectly in a high-pitched tone.
On the "Adventures of Droopy" VHS Tape and the "Complete Tex Avery" Laser Disc set, as on Cartoon Network, the "Cash Reward" scene was shortened, also to remove the blackface aftermath from the explosion.
