Simonson drew hot women. That’s Sharon Ventura in that panel and she never looked that good.

Here's a group of three related Easter Eggs from X-Men #108 and #137 by Claremont and Byrne. First, Byrne sneaked early 20th century comic book characters Mutt and Jeff in as the villains Moot and Jahf which the X-Men spend all of issue #108 fighting on their way to the M'Kraan crystal: Claremont pranked Byrne back by naming an alien robot combo "B'Nee and C'Cll" after the characters Beany and Cecil, who look like the inspiration for "Pete's Dragon." Byrne confirmed both of these at once. Also, Beast paraphrases Pogo when he first meets the two robots.

I can't find a pic, but in Avengers #217 (in which Yellow Jacket is tricked into helping Egghead and fights the remaining team)...Pym runs into two hobos on a train that are very clearly Abbot and Costello.

Perhaps you're thinking of a different issue? Pym meets Egghead in a bar, but he's not on a train in that issue or the few before it.

Issue 219 has the scene where a kid who keeps getting reborn , meets up with the Laurel and Hardy doppelgängers. They try to rape him too. Crimebuster And I discuss it in an upcoming podcast. Shameless plug.

Maybe it was that one.... I read them at the same time.... I really thought Abbott and Costello, but I admit I'm not an expert in such things

Also, Beast paraphrases Pogo when he first meets the two robots. Wikipedia says Kelly was parodying "We have met the enemy and they are ours," part of a message from American naval officer Oliver Hazard Perry in 1813 after defeating and capturing Royal Navy ships in the Battle of Lake Erie.

Terry Austin is a big Popeye fan and used to sneak him in the background of stories he inked (much to the chagrin of John Byrne, who disliked the practice and feared that Terry might place everyone's favourite Sailor Man in the background of a scene in which a major character killed another major character). Be that as it may, as a youngster I really liked those spinach-flavoured easter eggs! On the cover of Marvel Spotlight #8 (pencils by Frank Miller): And in the crowd at a party held by Lilandra, in X-men #125 (pencils by Byrne): for good measure, in that same crowd we see DC's Phantom Stranger.

I remember reading that Bryne was pissed at the Popeye in the background.

Ten years before he'd make his official DC debut in 1973, here's a Captain Marvel cameo in Lois Lane #42 from 1963.

More Jim Starlin surprises
I don't recognise all the names, not being as familiar with the DCU characters as with the MU, at least the pre-80s ones, so some of them I can't tell if it's a joke reference or just an actual character I don't know.
I do see Starlin himself in that second page, as "J. L. Minirats" - what else am I missing?
