References/Trivia


Cultural References

  • When Comic Book Guy is demonstrating the soda-resistant properties of Radioactive Man #1000, the "lesser comics" to which he refers appear to be issues of the comic that started the career of Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Life in Hell (evidenced Binky, the star of Life in Hell, standing on a stage on the cover). The logo of Matt Groening's comic book publishing company, Bongo Comics, can be seen at the head of the cover, in place of a title, despite the fact that Life in Hell has never been published by Bongo Comics. This could suggest that the "lesser comics" line actually refers to all of Groening's comics.
  • During the video "Secret Nuclear Defense Plan U.S. Govt. Film #1612", a map is clearly shown that highly resembles that of Springfield, Massachusetts, most notably by the large river running through the town intending to represent the Connecticut River. However, it is shown in other episodes that the Springfield of The Simpsons is not in Massachusetts.
  • The name of the comic book hero "Biclops" is a parody of the name of the X-Men character "Cyclops".
