Not until last year did I twig that Diagon Alley from Harry Potter is the direction Diagonally::)

But...they even point that out in the story.

Strontium Dog had its fair share of groaners, too. In addition to the aforementioned "Slavers of Drule" and "Kid Knee", I give you "Mm-mm-Mattezon's", "Dobie Zitch", "Planet Blas, way out in the Gallego System", "Carrington Crystal", "No Cure for Kansyr", "Rita Duckworth" "Stone Killers" and many, many more.

I've got to admit I love all that stuff - "Next prog: Dog-gone!", the Chums of Dennis singing "Chum-chum-cheree" etc, etc.

Blas... Gallego...

A reference to the artist linked to above.

(not that I'd heard of him at the time I started reading Strontium Dog, mind)

Didnt he do the movie poster for Heavy Metal

   
You ever notice that everyone who believes in creationism looks really unevolved? Eyes real close together, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day." Yeah, looks like he rushed it.

Sorry if this already got a mention...

Ace Trucking (according to the Wiki):

The title was lifted from a 1970s improvisational comedy group whose membership had included Fred Willard, Patti Deutsch and Bill Saluga.

Who knew?  Not me.

I was told it was the words to an English football team song recorded with that Baddel chap, could have been a wind up for all I know  :-[
