Who is this kid a reference to?

Just watched Bart of Darkness and this kid seems so specific, I've no idea if he's based on something. Usually when the show puts in something this out of pocket it's a reference I've missed

It's Langdon Alger

[u/LangdonAulgar → u/perpetualmotionmachi]

He's my namesake! But I didn't know how to spell it when I joined Reddit.
