Page "Bully for Bugs" Paragraph 7

In his biography Chuck Amuck Chuck Jones claims that he made this cartoon after producer Eddie Selzer burst into Jones ' workspace one day and announced, for no readily apparent reason, that bullfights were not funny, and they were not to make a cartoon about them.

Since Selzer had, in Jones ' opinion, consistently proven himself to be wrong about absolutely everything ( having once barred Jones from doing any cartoons featuring Pepé Le Pew, on the grounds that he perceived them as not being funny, which led to Jones and Maltese to do For Scent-imental Reasons, which won an Oscar, which Selzer accepted ), the only possible option was to make the cartoon.

The sounds of the crowd are recorded from a genuine bull-fighting crowd in Barcelona, Spain.

The boulder to the face gag was reused from Rabbit Punch which was also directed by Chuck Jones five years earlier.
