Some Judge Dredd shorts...

[icon_uk]

No, not Dredd IN shorts, though that's quite the image... but shorts starring Judge Dredd

These are some Judge Dredd newspaper strips from the late 1980's which appeared in the Daily Star newspaper and which were collected... As they are all done-in-one, half a page long strips, I think I can post their entirety without problem.



This seems apt considering the forthcoming relaunch of "Dallas"...



Sometimes he has to break bad news....



This one is just plain kinky, even by my standards....



Kinky AND painful...

Mega-City Judges may be authoritarian, but they're fair... sort of...



And sometimes he even witnesses that rarest of events...


..a happy ending!

And it's tough to be an entrepreneur in Mega-City One.







And finally, a one shot from Brian Bolland in the Annual, but not from the Daily Star strips...

A couple of days ago, I was waiting for a bus home from work and saw a grown man on a skateboard cut across a busy main street. He jumped from the sidewalk, over the curb and into the street from behind a parked car. Then he cut in front of a row of other cars that were slowing down for a red light, and he was going against traffic just to compound the amazing level of idiocy. (Oh, and not wearing any protection, either.)

Is it wrong that I now want to see cyclist Dredd, complete with groovy bike shorts, patrolling the city on a rocket-bike and giving clowns like this the dressing down they so desperately need?

No. It is so right.

That helmet + bike shorts are gonna haunt my dreams, they just seem to go so WELL!

[cleome45]

Bike shorts plus the Bolland hobby-horse would also be groovy. ;)

The talk of Dredd and bikes has suddenly reminded me of the existence of this. And my world is all the richer for it.

[cleome45]

:D

Thanks! I love it!

[greenmask]

I'm so happy that judge dredd exists.

The one with the cake had me laughing for a good ten minutes.

[damar148]

It has such a epic deadpan delivery.

[arilou_skiff]

Fairly certain that's an old gag repurposed.

[mrstatham]

Nonetheless, it really works, because it's Dredd saying it.

Judge Dredd, great stuff :)

[nomadicwriter]

The funniest thing about the back pain entrepreneur strip is that Dredd himself started suffering from back pain about the time he hit fifty. And he'd probably still make the same decision anyway.

And now I'm off to post some more of my scans. For there can never be such a thing as too much Judge Dredd.

These are amazing.

Sooomething just occurred to me about the cake one.

It seems highly unlikely he could unknowingly eat a cake with a file.

Somehow the idea that the Judges forcefed him makes it funnier. >_>

[icon_uk]

Given Mega-City One, it's perfectly likely that he ate it unawares.

[cainofdreaming]

The average cit would be as likely as not to eat it even if he/she was aware of it, really.
