BONUS! Martin, Escape From Grandma's House Kid and Itchy and Scratchy

Martin gets a substantial role in this episode, and is the first character to actually appear in this episode.
I think he's actually meant to be dressed as Ernest Hemmingway, mainly because of the beard. There are images of Hemmingway fishing with a hat, but it's not that similar to this so I don't think they are parodying anything specific here.
The kid from Escape From Grandma's House doesn't seem to have a "line" per se, but it seemed rude not to give the hero of the game the same treatment as his co stars.
And lastly for today, out old pals Impy and Chimpy. We've not seen them on here for a while, despite them being a big part of early Simpsons. This is the first time they've been seen in alternate costumes, so it was a good excuse to revisit them.
They are at their most purely a Tom and Jerry homage here, before they become a catch all as a representation of all animation within the show.
