Disclose Notes: Humphry Hemple would seem to be a parody reference to actor Humphrey Bogart, who starred in many crime films during Hollywood's Golden Age. Unlike Hemple, who was on the downside of his career, Bogart remains a movie legend to this day.

One of Hemple's crime film roles was that of "Sneerface", a parody reference to the 1932 film "Scarface" that starred not Humphrey Bogart, but Paul Muni.

Continuing the parallels with Bogart, another of Hemple's crime films was "Prison Break" (which the cops, called by Huey, Dewey, and Louie to arrest Hemple, remembered fondly), while Bogart starred in films with such titles as "San Quentin" (1937), "King of the Underworld" (1939), and "You Can't Get Away with Murder" (1939).
