Notes:
Kind of an updated "Chip an' Dale" rivalry short (cf. "Pavlov," "Out
of Scale") updated for the RR era -- only this time over "one upmanship"
rather than female.
"Escalation" Barks-type plot -- war of "got'cha lasts" gets out of hand
and causes Dale to be captured.
"Swishy" restaurant owner a parody of Jim Backus -- cf. later "Dirty
Rotten Diapers."
One of Dale's "ultimate" costume episodes.
[Reoccurring theme of Fat Cat wanting the "Best" for himself -- the
world's largest pearl.
Fat Cat's short singing of "I've got some strings, la-la-la-la" is a
nice, quick Disney reference. -- MP]
