Disclose 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.
