Pete Burness, Pat Matthews (he drew telescope eye-takes at Lantz), Bill Melendez, Willie Pyle and Paul J. Smith animated this from a story by Bill Scott, Phil Eastman and Bob Russell. Jim Backus lends his Hubert J. Updyke/Thurston Howell III voice to the effort.
Can't have any reaction takes that can't also be filmed in live-action -- as Fred Quimby told Avery early in his MGM stint, "We'll have none of that Warner Brothers rowdyism here." (the interesting/sad thing when you look at some of the later UPA theatrical Magoos is even with the higher budgets, the reaction 'takes' by other characters to the results of Quincy's actions are actually more exaggerated in the low-budget made-for-TV cartoons).
