- Died During Production: While Maurice Dodd didn't create the strip, meaning that his family had no power to prevent the Daily Mirror from appointing a new writer, the newspaper discontinued the strip immediately upon his death, because everyone involved agreed that no-one else could possibly write the strip as well as Dodd had done, and that attempting to do so would only have insulted his memory.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: Or in this case, the paperback anthologies, published from the 60s to the early 90s, that were the strip's only ever print collections.
- Referenced by...: The Thog's Masterclass column in David Langford's Ansible newsletter, looking at bad lines from sf, collects "His eyes wandered around the room" type lines under the heading "Eyeballs in the Sky Department".
