the few survivors who stayed above ground must forage and fight for food, ammo, and women.
Doesn't this imply that the women don't count as survivors?

Seems like the spoiler where in this article where it is explained that Vic kills Quila to feed Blood should be flagged as a spoiler since it is supposed to be a shocking conclusion to the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.184.251 ( talk) 18:11, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
According to this article, and the article Tiger (dog actor), the dog was played by Tiger from the Brady Bunch. According to Barry Williams Tiger died on the set of Brady Bunch during the filming of the episode "Katchoo." [1] Katchoo originally aired on October 24, 1969. [2] There is no way Tiger could have stared in a movie in 1975 when he died in 1969. I have posted a citation needed notice on the article. I, or someone else, will remove the mentioning of Tiger from the article if no one can explain this in a reasonable amount of time. -- PoeticX 07:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
It's bandied all over the web that "A Boy and His Dog" has entered Public Domain, but I haven't found a reliable source to back this assertion. Help? -- 76.200.165.188 ( talk) 20:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I've added this:
What happens is, certain internet web sites will put copyright content online and say it is "public domain" and leave it up until the copyright holder asks them to take it down. Sometimes the copyright holder never does, for whatever reason (not watching, doesn't care, dead or missing, unknown). However the actual legal copyright status remains uncertain. Until there is a reliable source saying this movie is in the public domain (preferably that source would the copyright holder) we should assume it is still copyright, it would be unusual for this film to be in the public domain.

== Copyright status == {{Expand section|date=August 2009}} The original copyright notice is incomplete and contains an invalid date more than one year different from its actual release date. While a registration was lodged with the USCO in 1989, it gave false publication information and is therefore invalid. This makes the original film public domain. However, in 1990, Third LQJ Inc. made a claim on the 1982 version of the film that had new footage added, which appears to be valid. No copy of the original Public Domain version transferred to VHS or DVD currently exists, leaving only the 1982 copyrighted version.

I find the film novella mix confusing and inconsistent with the style of other Wikipedia Articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.57.219 ( talk) 04:08, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
I just re-read the novella last night and I'm really curious about the source for the backstory provided (e.g. JFK surviving the assassination attempt, the detailed dates about WWIII, etc.). It's not in the story, and the dates that are given in the book do not match up with those in the article. I think a lot of this needs to be deleted unless a credible cite is provided. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.40.5.69 ( talk) 21:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
There is no mention that "A Boy and His Dog" is the name a classic plot summary. (Others are Boy Meets Girl, Boy Loses Girl, etc.) Harlan uses it ironically, of course. Is that all so obvious that it need not be mentioned? Surely some quotable critic has mentioned it somewhere. Snezzy ( talk) 11:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
It appears (despite my having said "films", plural) to be too early to include the
2012-or-so animated remake listed by IMDb and mentioned some other places. On the other hand, editors of the accompanying article may want to keep their ears open, and their Google-alerts primed for it, in case it ever starts to gel.

" Vic uses the fact that Quilla June's father secretly desires sex with her as a distraction; instead of impregnating her, Vic lets Ira Holmes in to see Quilla lying naked from the waist down, legs akimbo; thus stunned at seeing his "secret desire", Vic is able to incapacitate or kill the father to enable the start of Vic's and Quilla's escape attempt."
This makes it look like Ira Holmes is Quilla June's father, but this is the only mention of Ira's name in the whole article. Elsewhere, it is stated that Lou Craddock is her father.

I can remember reading a short story with this plot line in "Solo" magazine in the UK (as sci-fi mag aimed at young teenagers, sister publication to TV21) in the early-mid 1960's. I can only assume this was a reprint of the original short story. It certainly wasn't novella length and as far as I can remember was only in one issue. The details are much the same as described here, but I've no recollection of the sexual content - I suspect that was edited out for the target audience. Olddemdike ( talk) 20:31, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
