I briefly draw comparisons between the fields of damped Lyα and metal-poor stellar abundances. In particular, I examine their complementary age-metallicity relations and comparisons between the damped Lyα and dwarf galaxy abundance patterns. Regarding the latter, I describe a series of problems concerning associating high z damped Lyα systems with present-day dwarfs.
