Dallis wrote under the pseudonym of Paul Nichols, possibly to distance himself from his medical themed strip, [[Rex Morgan, M.D.|Rex Morgan MD]]. Dallis retired in 1990 just before his death and passed the strip on to assistant Woody Wilson, who tried to revitalize the strip, even daring to bring old Judge Parker back every once in a while and adding Neddy and Sophie to the strip's cast. The strips first artist was Dan Heilman. Heilman handled the strip until 1965, when he retired to launch a strip of his own. For the next 50 years, Harold LeDeaux handled artistic duties. He retired in 2006, passing on the strip to former D.C. comics artist Eduardo Barreto, who became noted for his incredible art on the strip and his love of extremely attractive women making sexy poses while the action of the strip continued to do nothing. Barreto's run was also marked with disaster - not long after he took over the strip, he suffered a grave car accident and had to take time off the strip. ''Rex Morgan'' artist Graham Noland and artist John Heebink filled in while he recovered. Sadly, Barreto was struck with meningitis in 2010 which left him unable to continue the strip, leading to a brief period in which Diego Barreto, his son, and Heebink filled in. Mike Manley carries on the torch permanently. |

* [[All Elections Are Serious Business]]: The plotline in which Randy ran for his father's open spot on the bench got so corny that it even featured a television crew appearing as Randy's opponent ''filed his intent to run''. |

* [[Artifact Title]]: Judge Parker was phased out of the strip in the 1960s, though sometime after Wilson took over, he began having Alan Parker check in from time to time. A 2006 storyline featured the Judge retiring, while his son, Randy Parker, still a regular in the cast, won his seat on the bench. While Randy is not the ''main'' character, the title is at least accurate again. |
