If Alan Moore had written The Watchmen...

[House of Usher]

I thought it was Doctor and Quinch?

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Nope, D.R. and Quinch.

As in: Waldo "DR" Dobbs and his pal Earnest Quinch (at least, I think it's Earnest).

In any event, there is no doubt that the "D.R." are initials standing for Diminished Responsibility and that the title is therefore "Dee-Arr and Quinch".

[JayzusB.Christ]

I really think you should have a look at the beginnings of this thread to understand the spirit it's in. Not only isn't it Doctor and Quinch, but it also isn't Form Hell, or Hallo Jones either.
So what does the D.R. in The Enigmatic D.R.X. stand for? (couldn't resist it, sorry}

[johnnystress]

Doesn't Register

as in "The joke doesn't register..."

[Satanist]

Is it true that Alan Moore stole the name Killing Joke from the band of the same name? The lazy beardy bastard!!!










;-D

[JayzusB.Christ]

Yeah. He also stole the idea behind the excellent movie LXG, and tried to pass off his own substandard version of it with a silly name to avoid copyright problems

[Richmond Clements]

The he took the perfectly servicable whodunnit of 'From Hell' and turned it into some longwinded dissection of the history of London, sanity and the human condition...

Where does this guy get off???

[Satanist]

And another thing that gets my on my tits with Mr Moore. When I was a kid I read a comic called Warlord which featured a character called Marvellous man, years later I discover his names now Miraculous man.

In the name of the great snake god make your bloody mind up man!




KIMOTA!

[SamuelAWilkinson]

And why he chose to write that treatise on The Legs of Extraordinary Gentlemen, I'll never know.

It wasn't as if their legs were the extraordinary bits of any of them!

[nofuture]

surely your getting confused with the auto-biog of the table that will one day become a wooden stake: I am a leg-end?

[JOE SOAP]

and he also ripped off the book Superfolk -which is a minor masterpiece by the way- for no amount of plots, twists, and concepts for Watchmen, Miracleman, Lost Girls and all his other 80's superhero stuff. Still a genius though and Grant Morrison is still jealous.

[TordelBack]

And then there was the time he wrote a story about an alien that crashlands on Earth and has to rely on a local kid and their friends to protect him form the authorities before his people come back to get him, totally ripping off... oh.

[Wils]

I do have to admit to liking both books of Top of the Pops; the one that centres around a studio that houses superpowered Radio 1 DJs. The sequel 'Brux' and the prequel 'The 33 and a thirds' were good as well.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Dr X wouldn't like this one bit. (Does that sound a bit like a room name from Jet Set Willy to anyone else?)
