Trivia
The title is a play on the song "Asleep in the Deep".

Goofs
In the wide shot of the clock on Ralph's wall (above the headboard), the time is just before 8 o'clock - which matches the time on the time clock (where Sam is about to clock in). The close-up of Ralph's clock jumps back to 7:45.

Alternate versions
Some versions aired on TV omit the brief scene of Sam and Ralph smoking.

Connections
Edited into Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982)

Soundtracks
William Tell Overture

Written by Gioachino Rossini

Another day, another dollar.

This short is mostly sight gags. Poor Ralph! The things a wolf has to go through to earn a living and possibly to get a square meal on occasion. This one most obviously and conspicuously indicates the basic premise-that both wolf and sheepdog are just a job, you do your shift and go home. It's a living, I guess. Quite funny and well worth watching. Recommended.
