Old One Eye

No you dirty minded filth, it is not a thread about willies.

It is a question about Hag Dinosaurs. As I'm sure a lot of you do, I think way too much about this sort of stuff and the drive to work this morning brought a question I thought I'd ask here:
Did we ever see how Old One Eye lost her eye?

A Zarjaz story idea takes shape, eh?

You may think that, I couldn't possibly comment.

I dunno, I always reckoned it was an angry mother pterodactyl poking it out in her younger years maybe, on catching her stealing eggs.

Wasn't it Earl Reagen? I'm pretty sure he jams an electric cattle prod or something into its eye when the tyrannosaurs are attacking that frontier town early(ish) in the story, and this is what prompts the monster to pursue such a vendetta against the humans.

It was poked out by a willy.

Yeah you got it its all there in the early episodes of Flesh and indeed Earl Reagan does ram a cattle prod into the dear old ladies eye. Before that I guess she was called Old Bifocal or something?

That's a pretty awesome couple of panels, innit?

notice how he shouts "THE GOAD" whilst using it in fine Dredd tradition

That is indeed an awesome couple o' panels but I can't help thinking "YA" and "YER" would make more sense if they were swapped around.

The whole point of Old One Eyes crusade against the Future Humans in her time period was BECAUSE of Earl Reagen poking out her eye. She is in fact hunting him for revenge.

Oh GOD you right I DO know too much about this

Quotenotice how he shouts "THE GOAD" whilst using it in fine Dredd tradition

Note also the caption in the bottom corner that describes exactly what you can see happening in the picture!

They don't make them like that anymore.
