  • This story is a parody of the Captain Atom story "The Little Wanderer" by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko from Charlton Comics' Space Adventures #35, where a boy travels through space while dreaming and Captain Atom has to revive him.
  • The show Danny is watching, Strange Suspense Stories, is named after the Charlton comic book.
