1 thing I never quite understood.

In the Terra-meks, what is the NOGEEEE that Fantas-tek is shouting all about? Was it just meaningless shouting?

I've got no idea why Hammerstein and Ro-Jaws swapped heads when they jumped out of the Preying Mantis o_O

In they original story, the robots have standard fittings, and it annoys the supervisors if parts are swapped.

They did it to annoy the supervisor droid, and when he came down to the pod, they overpowered him.

Badger is also the name of Mike's badge making app.

Uniforms in the real world change over time, I like the distinction between the three versions.

Everyone.

Mike's made a 3D model of a TAD so realistic, it actually works.

Well, that will certainly shake a few things up in, and indeed outside of, Dredd continuity.

I'm sure it still wouldn't count as canon for some ;)

I remember a story drawn by Mick McMahon where, right at the start,  Dredd rides his Lawmaster out of a teleporter and promptly arrests someone for littering.

Also, has McMahon retired now?  He pretty much quit the internet not that long ago.

He's doing a crap job of it if he has - he's working on some commissions and got other work on the go as well.

All those Marvel/DC characters from your sketch covers got their revenge.

Sector-house teleporters were in place by 2120 in the alternate future of City of the Damned, and weren't they used in Trifecta too (or did I dream it)?  Teleporters have also cropped up a few times in the hands of perps (the recent Sharks-on-legs story), aside from the DJs purloined ones.

As to Kraken vs. The Giant Judda, I'd assume that he's a largely unaltered Fargo Clone (hence Justice Dept's interest), whereas the others are a result of Judd's tinkering with the clone-stock.

See Nimrod.

Not any more sadly - sold a page of Dead Ringer to Large48 when I was short of cash.

Sure Dale's comic art group will come up trumps though.

I've just re-read Oz and I'm puzzled by the Judda's teleporters. Were these ever used again or were they ditched by Wagner et al?

They look like a narrative dead-end to my untrained eye, since their use would make many plots redundant.

I think they were mentioned in Trifecta, when Dredd's out of contact, and he mentions teleporter static.

But yeah, like Birdie, Psi Division and even PSU up to a point, they can become a bit of an catch-all solution.

Strontium Dog:  Best thing in the prog. I am sure the mystery of the returning arm will be explained :P

Had a brand new arm fitted for the holiday, and one of those seagulls nicked it.

I can certainly understand that, it can be a bit of fun.

Does judge fear's gaze work at all in spirit form, or at a reduced power? How about in mirrors? Over video?

How much of Mortis is needed to cause decay - would bits of Mortis in a water supply be effective?

I guess that's more curiosity in what they can do and could be used In a story than the unimportant things like how they can see.

There was a fair bit of promo in London on posters/those LCD screens.

I'm waiting for it to show up on Netflix, without ads and better picture quality.

That's more down to Pat writing most of it I guess.

Considering how often the dislike of heroes comes up in Pat's later work, Marshal Law, Defoe, ABC Warriors, Slaine - he's the one that wrote Dredd as more of a hero.
