The Blue Ribbon reissue version of this cartoon cuts out not only the credits, but the opening and closing gags. Here is what is cut.
- The opening with a caricture of Alexander Wolcott as a "Town Crier" is deleted. All that is visible is the shadow of him ringing a bell. Wolcott was upset over his caricature, and made W.B. cut it out.
- The gag closest to the ending again features Alexander Wolcott, which has also been excised.
- The ending gag that involves Rip Van Winkle tying the cuckoo clock bird's beak shut so that he can get some sleep. The new Looney Tunes DVD set released in 2004 released the longest cut available, featuring all of the cut scenes above, except the opening credits. However, it still has the "blue ribbon" in the opening.
