Possible sources and influences
[edit]The title may have inspired other uses of a word ending in "y" plus "and the Tramp" such as the H. G. Wells 1915 comic novel Bealby, with a chapter titled "Bealby and the Tramp,"[3] and the more famous Lady and the Tramp. It was preceded by a vaudeville act, "The Girl and the Tramp," although the relationship between the two is unclear. "The Girl and the Tramp" also appears in some ephemera of the 1890s.[4][5] Its name is similar to another 1911 silent film, The Child and the Tramp.
