This may be me feeding my own ego here, and it probably is... anyway, though it didn't occur to me for a year or two, the chief judge of Murphyville may possibly maybe perhaps be called after ME.
When Mike Carroll was a regular poster I suggested that he might rescue the Emerald Isle from the silliness of Garth Ennis's version, and while I'm sure he would have done it anyway being a Dub, he gave the chief judge my surname.
To be fair, it's about the third most common surname in Ireland, but feck it, I'm going to believe what I choose to believe. My former neighbour Johnny McMonagle (remember our johnnystress?) and his twin made it into a Carroll Dredd as the McMonagle brothers, so... well, I can always dream.
