Things that went over your head...

Reading the new Lawless book, I only just realised Kill a Man Jaroo is a pun on Kilimanjaro

About half way though it, and noticed that another Uplift is called 'Kay Too'.

I wonder if Marshall Lawson will EVER ARREST them?!

No, you fools! It's a play on the name Rob Usters, the American character actor who famously played the roles of both Rogers and Hammerstein in the 1958 biographical radio play "One Day We'll Be So Famous They'll Name A Pair Of Comedy Robots After Us".

Also starring Aebis E. Woryorz.

Just re-read an old Killing Time GN.  I think I was about 17 last time I read it, and really didn't cop that 'call me Ishmael' was a Moby Dick reference.  And maybe, now that I think of it, the whole story is an intentional allusion to Moby Dick; given that its main theme is the hunt for a colossal monster.

On a bit of a prog slog through the 300's at the moment and just got to the end of Fort Neuro.  One of the Nort Generals is General Vagner.  A guest writer cameo for our esteemed Dredd writer?  Or am I reading too much into it?

[M.I.K.]

More likely a reference to the composer chappy, whose music was appropiated by the nazis, but may be a slight nod to oor John as well.

Similar Wagner/Wagner connection here (also a thing that went over my head at the time):
