In what can best be described as "RuleOfFunny [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ForTheEvulz," ''D.R. & Quinch'' tells the [[RuleOfThree totally amazing]] story of one [[MagnificentBastard Waldo "D.R." Dobbs]] (the "D.R." stands for "Diminished Responsibility"), a skinny, lanky, teenage [[{{Delinquents}} delinquent]] who boasts a genius IQ, enjoys acts of extreme violence and destruction, and looks like a cross between [[Film/{{Gremlins}} a gremlin]] [[JustForFun/XMeetsY and]] [[MarvelUniverse a skrull]] with a [[GoodHairEvilHair pompadour]], and Dobbs' best friend [[DumbMuscle Ernest Erroll Quinch]], a large, purple-skinned [[TheBrute brute]] who is [[TheQuietOne much, much quieter than Dobbs]] as he prefers writing to talking. Together, these two [[ComedicSociopathy deeply sociopathic]], [[FauxAffablyEvil evilly affable]], [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal maniacs]] do as they please, and what pleases them usually involves death and destruction on a tremendous scale; it helps that, in their part of the Milky Way, [[NukeEm nuclear warheads]] are [[TalksLikeASimile as easily obtainable as a handgun in the]] DeepSouth.

Unfortunately, the strip, [[ShortRunners did not last long]] at ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'', as [[Creator/AlanMoore Moore]] had a tumultuous falling out with illustrator Alan Davis after [[CreativeDifferences a disagreement]] over the reprinting rights to other works the two had collaborated on in the past. Needless to say, Moore abandoned the characters in the aftermath of this, marking the end of D.R. & Quinch's appearances in ''2000 AD'' save for small collection of one-page-long strips known as "The Agony Pages," written by Jamie Delano and Alan Davis.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Seeing how, Waldo Dobbs, has a 280 I.Q., it doesn't come as much of a surprise that he says an occasional "sophisticated" word here and there mixed in with his more usual lexicon that's based around more TotallyRadical words (i.e. Asking for [[TheJudge The Judge's]] '''appellation''', rather than his '''name''').
