After the Neon Knight incident Walter returned to his duties as Dredd's dutiful
but unpaid servant.  Not that Dredd ever could have paid him as Judges don't
draw a salary.  It was never discussed but we can assume the rent for Dredd's
conapt in Rowdy Yates block is paid directly from Justice Central accounts 
without him ever actually handling funds.  Sort of puts the street judges at 
the mercy of the accounting division if they have to approve all expenses.   
Making Dredd's occasional feuds with them a bad idea.  Anyway since neither
Dredd nor Walter ever have any money that should lead to a spartan lifestyle.
Which is as it should be for a Judge except that in Prog 33 that suddenly
changed.  Art by Ian Gibson, again story uncredited but either Wagner or Mills




After breaking up an attempt at vigilante justice by Walter's fellow cabbies
Dredd dealt out the law to a gang who had been targeting taxis.  Walter started 
singing Dredd's praises but Dredd had other things on his mind.


So that was that and Dredd forgot about it.  Or did he?  In next week's prog 
he faked in own death in a sting operation to catch a bent Judge.  The shock 
nearly blew Walter's circuits and I have to wonder if Dredd took some 
satisfaction in that.  Art by Mike McMahon from prog 34.
