"First thing that caught my attention was that my dad was fighting in the Pacific WWII when this was released. Things where not going well over there, but America still has to laugh. Right? The violence and incredibly dizzying speedy scene changes are pure Tex Avery. There is no limit in animation and Tex pushed every limit. The Screwy Truant doesn't push too hard, but I could not hold in the laughs as I watch it today, probably 55yrs since I first saw it. Truant Officer sure had a thick skull. Take my word...."

The school house is painted blue. There is a sign that says "The Little Red School House", and "Red" is crossed out. Underneath is another sign saying "Technicolor Red has Gone to War". This is a parody of the wartime ad for Lucky Strike cigarettes which said, "Lucky Strike Green has Gone to War" - as the green on the packages was changed to white.
