References/Trivia


Cultural references[edit]

  • The comic parodies Moby-Dick, with the title being a take on the novel's opening line, "Call me Ishmael." The titular whale appears in the story, as well as the novel's main character Ishmael.
  • After Grampa tells his story, Bart has a nightmare where he finds a whale's head in his bed, spoofing the "horse head in the bed" scene from The Godfather.
