History[]
Joe 'Bullmoose' Saxon is a character from the 2000 AD strip Strontium Dogs, which replaced Strontium Dog after the death of Johnny Alpha. He worked as a Strontium Dog or bounty hunter (after the Search/Destroy agency relocated to Ganymede) and was a friend of Johnny's former companion the Gronk. In fact, for a while he was his only friend. Bullmoose had a kindly nature, despite — or perhaps because of — the fact that he was bullied as a child by norms who called him "ugly" and told him to "drop dead." He was an easy-going sort of chap with a warm smile and abs you could bounce rocks off.
Notable events in Bullmoose's brief life included crash-landing in an icy ocean on the planet Hsin, spending a week at sea and being rescued by Middenface McNulty. Unfortunately, his final story was deemed so bad by its own creators, thanks to editorial interference, that it was infested by Thrill-Suckers.
