| Notes | "Ludwig Maher" of "G.M.G." studios is a reference to Louis B. Mayer, head of MGM studios (although Maher is not drawn as a caricature of Mayer). In one panel, there is a caricature of Robert Mitchum although he isn't named. "Gene Tyrone" looks like a combination of Clark Gable and Errol Flynn, but with red hair. |
