Both His Bitter Half and Freleng's 1962 Yosemite Sam short Honey's Money have a similar plot: a fortune-seeking bachelor marrying an ugly mean widow, whose true personality is revealed only after the wedding, and, after forced to do backbreaking housechores, being made to care for her child, introduced (to both the main protagonist and the audience) only after the marriage is legalized.
His Bitter Half was reused as a clip in a 1986 TV special where Daffy tells his life's struggles in an attempt to produce a movie about Duck Dodgers.
After being scalped playing cowboys and Indians, Daffy is made to take Wentworth to the amusement park after being shown the bank book.
His disgusted wife assumes that Daffy is "fried to the gills" and orders him to go to bed, since he has got to help Wentworth shoot off fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Daffy, wanting to teach the brat a lesson, thinks he has found him and begins to discipline him, only to see the disguised Wentworth racing by, just seconds before the firecracker explodes.
