Wheelin' and Dealin'/Trivia

Trivia

 * This episode marks the first appearance of Generic Tree Friends.
 * This is the first of many of Lumpy's jobs.
 * This is the first episode where a main character has a featuring role.
 * This is the first episode (and the only episode of the First Season of the Internet series) in which Handy dies.
 * As in this episode, Handy would later laugh at Cuddles' misfortune in The Wrong Side of the Tracks.
 * This is one of the few episodes were Lumpy's antlers don't change directions.
 * This marks Lumpy's first appearance that he doesn't kill anyone or himself.
 * Lifty is responsible for every death.
 * As shown from the episode's storyboard, Handy's head was originally cut off by his cart's rear wing right after his body gets cut away.
 * There are no female characters in this episode.
 * This is the first episode to show guts.
 * Lifty and Shifty's role in this episode seems to swap in future appearances. In this episode, Lifty seemed to be more dominant and in charge, and took the steering wheel of the car, but in future episodes Shifty seems to be more dominant and in nearly every episode that they drive in a vehicle, Shifty is the driver, an exception being As You Wish.
 * This is the first and so far only episode where Handy does his trademark scowl because of something that has nothing to do with his lack of hands. Instead, he does it because Lifty and Shifty stole his steering wheel.
 * This marks the first time where a character's intestines are shown.
 * This is the first time to have someone's eyes popped out.
