The 'siren' is a caricature of Barbara Jo Allen as Vera Vague, who had a series of COLUMBIA two-reel comedies at the time.

Thanks for the context! 👍

The way these characters are designed, they look like the work of Milt Gross, and I’ve always wondered if he didn’t have a hand in the production of this cartoon. If my information is correct, he did some freelance work for Columbia, most notably selling them the idea for an anti-Hitler cartoon “He Can’t Make It Stick”, which he may have also done the storyboard for.

That could explain the design of the chinless sailor! 👍
