Owen has done a great job of revitalizing the art comps but if we now have to pass an arbitrary moral and quality test it will have lost its heart and no doubt several participants old and possible future.

Half the folk in this thread can't spell Absolam Absalom.

If Huck Widney's not a real person, it could be a Scottish dialect pun in-joke thing.

Wasn't that story reprinted in the Megazine some years back? I'm sure I've read it somewhere.

No I haven't. Turns out it's a totally different Daily Star strip in which Henry Ford shows up at the West Wall and asks for Dredd.
