For a few mins longer. I had a problem!

scojo

Well me shy!

ha!

Ah but John Wagner's original Dredd was to be absolutely ruthless.

He had this idea of a jay walker or something. Anyway Dredd shoots him in the legs cos he's croosing the street. Dredd then says, you got a minute (or less) to get off the road.
If the perp doesn't get off the road in time, Dredd kills him.

Seems reasonable to me.

scojo Dredd

Alan Grant thinks Dredd is a thug. Wagner does not.

scojo

Oh right, you mean the editorial on the nerve centre!

Sorry, I didn't realise!

Bit slow today am I.

Mr Smith, I mean Mr Tharg was comparing Dredd's world to real life, wasn't he?

I must admit I never saw the connection between mutants and oppressed groups of present day.

But now I think of it, it's so damned obvious!

DOH!

Although I don't think Tharg was referring to Sep 11. Or maybe I missed something there?

scojo so slow, the tortoise is doing a lap of honour

Dorourke, your typing is worse than mone, I mean mine!

:O))))))))))))))))))


Sorry I lost you! You mean it was similar? I don't see the connection with sept 11 though!

The Dredd tale was Blaster Buddy by Wagner, art by Anthony Williams. Prog 954.

About a gun that thought it was a soldier.

Then last year Wagner gave us Gun Runner. Art by Cliff Robinson. Prog 1229.

About a gun that thought it was a soldier.

Identical!

Scojo who knows so much useless trivia it's quite scary...

Interesting facts for you all.

SPOILER************************

This week's Dredd tale by Alan Grant has exactly the same ending (the note) as a story he wrote in the Megazine Volume 1, No 10, dated July 1991.

That story was called The Gipper's Big Night Out and was about mutants entering the city from the west wall. The words on the note are identical in both stories.

Also Wagner wrote a Dredd tale last year about a talking gun on the rampage, which was exactly the same as one he wrote for 2k after the Dredd movie just came out. Way back in 1995.

I told you it was interesting!

scojo

And as for Orville the duck who wished he could fly...

He's flying as high as a kite on crack.

Allegedly.

scojo who is afraid of heights

Actually Shaky was er.. done for drink driving this very week Matt.

But I'm saying nothing in case his lawyers are reading this!

scojo

On the subject of old characters...

Never say never!

scojo wishing for the space girls "series 2" reunion concert

Eh wots all this about ace garp?

He is in this week's prog????

Remember all, spoiler before you write!:O)

scojo

Did you finish it?

Maybe if you have the time, you should.

scojo

Novels take so looooooooooong to write.

All this descriptive malarky. Me so lazy.

I know u want to be one PVS!

Seriously, you could write one if you have the time and submit it to Rebellion. They are planning a new series of books based on popular 2k characters.

The scojo novel shortened:

Judge Dredd appeared on his lawmaster bike like some demigod from Greek myth.
He barked an order (he was a dog in a former life you see) at the jay walker.
Get of the skedway now, he woofed.
The jay walker did what he was told, for Dredd was not a man with whom you wanted to argue. Well arguing with him was fine, it was just you always knew he'd win.
He was murder to play chess with too.

And so on, blah blah blah.

So anyway old Death comes to the big meg right?

So what's gonna happen?
Okay he goes around killing a few people. He's just being friendly.

Anderson gets possessed. I mean if I saw Anderson, I'd wanna possess her too!

You're mine baby!

Crude juvenile sexual thoughts etc to enhance joke.

Anyway back to the script. So she gets possessed right? Maybe Dredd comes to her rescue and they go off on a holiday in the Cursed Earth. Anything's better than Blackpool I guess.

But where you gonna go now eh? Aha! How is Death going to create his Necropolis on his own?

I think there should be more to a Judge Death and/or Dark judges story, than just killing people...

scojo whose ideas have ideas...
