Celebrity parody names abound: "Snarlin Grando" = method actor Marlin Brando. "Jayne Girlsfield" = full and shapely actress Jayne Mansfield (with hair tresses drawn by Barks to mitigate or deemphasize her upper figure, perhaps in consideration of the Dell Comics Code). "Prince Raindeer and Princess Lace" = Monaco monarchs Prince Rainier and Princess Grace. "Brigitte Van Doren" = an amalgam of glamorous actress Brigitte Bardot and busty actress Mamie Van Doren.
Made up joke and pun names are liberally mixed in with the celebrity parody names, giving pause to modern readers less familiar with the celebrity culture of the late-1950s and early-1960s: "Tallin De Saddle", "Cuddles Marrymore", "Rocky Stonejaw", and a famous politician named "Gasmore Gravytrain".
Among the media focused on Donald on pages 3 and 4 is "Bathé News", a sendup of Pathé News, once a supplier of newsreels to movie theatres.
