Also, he's clearly hoarding money for some unspecified reason, as shown in one of the reboot stories where a tax man is chasing him for having never paid tax. In that particular story, Paxman even asks Johnny where his money is and Johnny admits that he doesn't know, claiming that bounty hunting is an expensive business.

** Even in later stories, this hasn't gone away. In "Traitor To His Kind", Johnny and Wulf get pulled over by the police and forced to dig a grave for themselves. One of the cops tells Johnny to dig it deep "so none of that mutie smell can get out". So, yeah, prejudices about mutation being contagious do exist in universe.

Scots is already so close to English that it looks a bit like writing English with a Scottish accent to the uninformed.

** There are some species out there that are incredibly difficult to kill with conventional weapons. Johnny and Kenton Sternhammer were once faced with a bounty that was surrounded by a robot army and was ImmuneToBullets, so Kenton used a crane to lift the target to a spot where Johnny was able to ambush him with a time bomb.

** I think the Strontium Dog stories are about 150-200 years further down the timeline from Dredd. Dredd is about a hundred years from the present, and then its another one and a half centuries or so from then. Plenty of time for the barely hanging on CrapsackWorld of Dredd to finally completely implode and change radically.
