D.R. & Quinch

D. R. & Quinch was a 2000 AD strip written by Alan Moore and drawn by Alan Davis. It featured two alien college students, Waldo 'D.R.' Dobbs (the 'D.R.' stood for 'Diminished Responsibility') and his best friend Ernest Errol Quinch. They first appeared in a Time Twister story in 2000 AD prog 317, and proved so popular that they were given their own series, starting in prog 350. The green-skinned, pointy-eared D.R. was the brains of the outfit, with his huge, taciturn friend Quinch providing the brawn. They shared an equal enthusiasm for chaos, mayhem, theft, joy-riding, the wanton destruction of property and the liberal application of weapons-grade explosives.

The first story of their series showed them avenging themselves on the judge who sentenced them for "arson, kidnapping, theft, grievous wounding, possession of unlawful atomic weapons, taking and driving away, conspiracy to overthrow the government, covetting thy neighbour's ox, graverobbing, torture, criminal libel, blackmail, polluting the environment, shoplifting, 714 separate driving offences, forging sacred relics, transmuting base metal into gold, genocide, spitting and thirty-two offences so unusual and horrible that they do not have names." Later stories detailed D.R.'s unfortunate infatuation with the mentally unhinged Crazy Chrissie, and what happened when he and Quinch were drafted into the army.
