Notes:
Writer Vic Lockman makes reference to Poughkeepsie, New York (the location of Western Publishing's printing facilities) when Super Goof starts his journey back to Earth from the planet of the Koolots, and heads in the wrong direction:
KRAIGY KOOLOT: "But Earth is that way!"
SUPER GOOF: "Whoops! Thanky kindly! I never DID study interplanetary geography! I can't even find Poughkeepsie on a map!"
Lockman had previously referenced Poughkeepsie in a Wuff the Prairie Dog story unofficially titled "Resort-ing to Trickery" in Tom and Jerry Comics (Dell, 1949 Series) #149 (December 1956) page 1, panel 4.

An additional Poughkeepsie reference to occurs in the Woody Woodpecker story "Topknot of the Big Top" in Golden Comics Digest (Western, 1969 Series) #5 (September 1969) not written by Lockman, page 14, panel 2. https://www.comics.org/issue/224448/#1091225
"Kraigy Koolot" might also be a reference to Lockman's editor Chase Craig.
