Mr. Walker listens to radio broadcasts of a football game involving his alma mater, "Solomon U.", and a boxing match involving a fighter named "Goodman." The former is an allusion to business manager Robbie Solomon and the latter to publisher Martin Goodman.

Police Captain Goodman appears (see Georgie Comics #1), but no longer resembles Martin Goodman; he sends two officers to a house on "Solomon Street", an allusion to business manager Robbie Solomon. Georgie, Monty and Judy belong to a "ghost club" whose members dress up in white sheets and hoods that (to the modern eye) resemble those of the Ku Klux Klan.
