Behind the scenes

 * The name of the magazine is a take on pulp science-fiction/fantasy/adventure magazines such as Amazing Stories and Weird Tales.
 * On the cover of issue 43, the license plate reads "4LL-0WT-4" and "Bethesda MD" referencing the name Fallout 4 and Bethesda, Maryland, the original home of Bethesda Game Studios.
 * "The Man Who Could Stop Time" is also a play on the fact that the player can effectively stop time when using V.A.T.S., hence the additional action points.
 * The title "Have Dog, Will Travel!" is modeled after a phrase made popular by Have Gun – Will Travel, an American tv and radio western that ran 1957-1963 (1958-1960 for radio) featuring Paladin.
 * The issue Invasion of the Zetans refers to the Zetans the player faces in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.


 * "The Man Who Could Stop Time" may be in reference to an episode of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964), where a man is given a stopwatch which stops time. He then uses it for cheap party tricks, then escalates to robbing a bank where he breaks it, and time is now permanently stopped.
 * "My Brain and I" is possibly a reference to the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues, in which the Courier can flirt with their own brain.
 * The magazine named "Attack of the Fishman" could be a reference to 1954 movie "The Creature from the Black Lagoon." The cover of even resembles the movie's poster.
