Synopsis[]

Continuity[]
- This episode deals with more of Duckman's childhood neglect and emotional abuse, first brought up in "Cellar Beware".
- In Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick, Duckman remarks that one of the locations reminds him of a biker bar his uncles used to hang out in; "At least mom told me they were my uncles."
Trivia[]
- Early on in the episode, Duckman casually mentions to his family that he snuffed out a cigarette inside the house. This is odd, considering that the family had him quit, and that smoking was banned from the house (to the extent that Bernice angrily slammed him onto a wall for that in "Aged Heat".)
- When Duckman travels through space and time with the crystal, there is a brief reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- Katey Sagal voices Mrs. Duckman. At the time, she was best known for playing Peg Bundy on Married With Children.
