Indexer Notes

An almost panel-for-panel remake of this story occurs in The Jetsons (Charlton, 1970 Series) #6 September 1971, with George Jetson as the well-intentioned but forgetful bumbler who receives the memory of an elephant, to the very same awkward and disastrous results. While the original Donald Duck version of this story is 7 four-tiered panel pages and the Jetsons remake is similarly laid-out to 8, they are essentially the same, beat-for-beat, but with individual Duck-specific references changed to Jetsons-specific references.
