According to Karl F. Cohen's 1997 book, Forbidden Animation: Censored Cartoons and Blacklisted Animators in America, rumor held that U.S. film labs refused to process the film, and it had to be developed in Cuba.
According to Disney animator Ward Kimball, this was originally a joint project by three mainstream studios for a private party in honor of American cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay, one of the first artists to create animated short films.
According to Disney animator Ward Kimball, this was the first pornographic animated short film.
When a copy of the short was screened in San Francisco in the late 1970s, the program notes attributed the animation to George Stallings, George Cannata, Rudy Zamora Sr., and Walter Lantz.
The short circulated informally, shown only at small underground festivals or parties, until 2002 when it was included in the theatrically released compilation The Good Old Naughty Days.
