Tharg's Trivia Challenge

[Buttonman]

Without Case File to hand it's either bouncing a big ball that looks like a monster's head or cat's cradle.

[NapalmKev]

Running the 'Mock Chocs' factory.

[Frank]

What is PJ Maybe doing the first time he meets Dredd?

Employing ButtonMushroom's no-reference rule, I'm going to say balancing a book on his head.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Yes, he's making a cat's cradle ("I know lots of things... cat's cradle!" is what he says to Dredd)

BMan it is.

[Buttonman]

I feel bad as I had two guesses.

Not that bad though!

Let's see, let's go easy and ask 'Who was 'The Exploding Man'?

[TordelBack]

Ike Nobel?

[Buttonman]

Weird how so many names and stories form 25 years ago still resonate among the fandom!

Ike it was and Tordelback is up.

[TordelBack]

Keeping with Dredd, what story did Grot Pots first appear in?

[Magnetica]

Grunge?

Pretty sure they are a Otto Sump product anyway.

[TordelBack]

Grunge it is!  I'd always thought that they first appeared in The Pit until a re-read of Grunge showed one of Otto's tasty nutritious products to be a (presumably subsequently un-banned) Grot-Pot.

Your shout, Magnetica.

[Magnetica]

ok next question.

Who was the leader of the Straw Dogs?

[NapalmKev]

Hammerstein.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Grunge it is! 

It's not, you know.   

[Magnetica]

no.

[JayzusB.Christ]

It's Gunge.  Sorry, but as a comics reader I must express my excruciating pedantry as often as possible.
