Crumb's Noah looks very, very dimly like Ted Healy.
Yeah, R. Fiore noticed the same thing. As he commented in The Comics Journal message board: "The only thing I can see that smacks of send-up is modeling Noah’s sons on the Three Stooges (with Shemp)."

I think Crumb might have been influenced by the fact that Shem sounds like Shemp.
I thought of the Stooges too when I first read the book but didn't pursue the parallel in my review.
