Trivia[]
- The book's villain, Abner K. Dabra, was allegedly the inspiration for the Great Fondoo, a member of the Really Rottens in Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics.
- Mel Crawford's illustrations show Yogi wearing a red hat and blue tie rather than his regular green hat and tie he wears in the TV cartoons. Yogi would wear a red hat in the Spumco shorts "Boo Boo Runs Wild" and "Boo Boo and the Man".
