D. R. and Quinch's Totally Awesome Guide to Life (Best of 2000 A.D.)
D R and Quinch's Totally Awesome Guide to Life - Best of 2000 A.D. Author:Alan Moore, Alan Davis D.R. and Quinch started as two characters (inspired by the National Lampoon characters O.C. and Stiggs) in a one-off Future Shock in 2000AD titled "D.R. and Quinch Have Fun On Earth". The strip was the tale of how two alien teenage students Waldo "D.R." (for "Diminished Responsibility") Dobbs, a scheming criminal mastermind (who with his pointed... more » ears, green flesh, and furrowed chin, resembled a Skrull), and Ernest Errol Quinch, his muscular purple skinned companion in crime, have influenced Earth's history in various anarchic ways.
Initially meant to only appear once, they proved so popular that a two part story ran in issues 350 and 351. This led to the strip running until issue 359 in several adventures. During these we see the pair drafted and D.R. gains a girlfriend, the insane Crazy Chrissie.
The pair's last strip, "D.R. and Quinch Go to Hollywood" ran from issues 363 to 367 and was considered to be Moore and Davis's finest D.R. and Quinch story. The pair's last D.R. and Quinch work together was in the 2000AD Sci-Fi Special in 1985.
In 1986 Titan Books released a collection of all D.R. and Quinch stories from 2000AD called "D.R. and Quinch's Totally Awesome Guide To Life". It became one of Titan's best selling books in their lines of 2000AD reprints.« less
