Some artistic license was taken with cartoon history for the purposes of the plot. In the episode, Bosko and Honey's popularity plummeted when Porky Pig arrived at the studio. In reality, directors Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising left Warner Bros. in 1933, taking their creations Bosko and Honey with them. Porky didn't debut until I Haven't Got a Hat (1935).
Babs Bunny's primary source of unhappiness in this episode was the lack of famous female Looney Tunes. Several female characters were created for the Looney Tunes franchise from 1930 to 1969, but they were not as heavily advertised as the male characters, and none of them shared any similarities with Babs. Penelope Pussycat, who partially inspired Furrball, was not presented as an Acme Looniversity teacher most likely because she never starred in an animated short independently. Petunia Pig was more prominent in the comics than in the shorts and was relatively obscure, as was Miss Prissy from the shorts starring Foghorn Leghorn. Granny and Witch Hazel already had Mary Melody and Witch Sandy for Tiny Toon counterparts. Prior to Babs was a female rabbit named Honey Bunny, whose appearances were limited to the comics. Lola Bunny who wasn't introduced until the 1996 film Space Jam would've been a fitting mentor for Babs.
This episode can be considered a preview to the WB's then-upcoming show, Animaniacs (1993), as the Warner siblings are similar in appearance to the 1990s redesigns of Bosko and Honey.
The original Bosko and Honey were cartoon humans with African-American characterizations. In this episode, they were redesigned to be vaguely doglike in order to avoid accusations of racism.
Both the episode and its title are meant to send up Phil Alden Robinson's film Field of Dreams (1989).
