* FairForItsDay: ''Milton'' is one of several cartoons of its time that mocked commonplace racial stereotypes with absurd parody, [[{Anvilicious} in and of itself a good cause]], but the satire has not aged well and simply looks insensitive to modern eyes if it's even recognized as satire.

** This may be a case of OurHomunculiAreDifferent since the liquids-congealing-in-a-mold method is pretty much the method by which alchemists would create [[{{Homunculus}} homunculi]] according to folklore.

Milton was a lovable, friendly monster who only superficially resembled FrankensteinsMonster. His voice was based on Jim Nabors' Gomer Pyle from ''Series/TheAndyGriffithShow''. Milton was created by Professor Weirdo and his assistant, Count Kook, in their laboratory atop Horror Hill. His loveable personality had been the result of a lab accident during his creation. Professor Weirdo, in his haste, accidentally added too much tenderness and Milton was the result.

* BourgeoisBohemian: Mad scientist Professor Weirdo is a beret-topped parody of middle-aged {{Beatnik}} artists, treating the monsters he creates as his living art pieces. His rival Professor Fruitcake is more of an AbsentMindedProfessor always dressed in black graduation gown and be-tassled graduation cap, treating his monsters as wild dorm students.



* LosingYourHead: One of the seldom-seen inhabitants of Professor Weirdo's manor is a disembodied head under glass whose shoulder-length (if he had shoulders) hair stands on end during one of the intro segments.
