Judge Sadd: John Cullen Draws A Softer Side Of Mega City One

Just a few days ago during an interview about Cosmic Scoundrels, Matt Chapman mentioned that one of his favorite comics was 2000 AD's very own lawman of the future, Judge Dredd. This got me to wondering what would happen if Chapman's other co-creations, the cast of Homestar Runner, were mashed up with the Judges to give us characters like Judge Bad or, the one I wanted to see most of all, Judge Sad.

Sadly, we live in a world where that has yet to happen, but the good news is that artist John Cullen stepped up to the plate to provide the closest -- and most awesome -- equivalent: Judge Sadd, a grim-faced Mega City Judge who fights the scourge of future crime... with hugs.

I'm not going to lie, I would love to read a story in this version of Mega City One, if only to see Dredd take on Misunderstood But Fundamentally Well-Meaning Machine Angel.
