* ArtisticLicenseFilmProduction: ''The Better America Forum'', on which Abigail and Eugene appear, is filmed using RCA TK-10 TV cameras. Rick catches the broadcast on a color TV set, which shows a color picture despite the fact that TK-10s were black-and-white cameras. It was probably done this way as filming or converting the brief scene shown on the set to monochrome would've been too much trouble for little payoff.
* DoubleTake: Following a musical number, Rick walks past a TV set showing Eugene talking about how comics influenced him negatively with nothing more than "Hi, Eugene". Just as he enters a building, he realizes Eugene is on TV and walks back to the set to watch helplessly as he trashes comics.

''Artists and Models'' is a 1955 Paramount musical comedy film directed by Creator/FrankTashlin and starring Music/DeanMartin and Creator/JerryLewis, which marked their fourteenth feature together as the comedy team Creator/MartinAndLewis. The film co-stars Creator/ShirleyMacLaine and Creator/DorothyMalone, also featuring Eva Gabor and Anita Ekberg in brief roles.

Rick Todd (Martin) is a struggling painter and smooth-talking ladies' man. His goofy young roommate Eugene Fullstack (Lewis) is an aspiring children's author who has a passion for comic books, especially those of the mysterious and sexy "Bat Lady." Each night, Eugene has horrific screaming nightmares inspired by those comics, about a bizarre bird-like superhero called "Vincent the Vulture", which he describes aloud in his sleep. Meanwhile, a neighbor in their apartment building, Abigail Parker (Malone), is a professional artist who works for a New York comic book company and the creator of "Bat Lady." Her energetic roommate is Bessie Sparrowbush ([=MacLaine=]), her co-worker and Abigail's model for "Bat Lady." Abigail becomes frustrated at work at the increasingly lurid and bloodthirsty stories her money-hungry publisher Mr. Murdock (Eddie Mayehoff) demands, and she quits to become an anti-comics activist, dragging Eugene into her crusade as an example of how trashy comic books can warp impressionable minds, just at the same time that Rick gets a job with the company after pitching the adventures of "Vincent the Vulture" from Eugene's dreams, having to keep his work a secret from both her and Eugene.
