Watchmen

Watchmen is a comic book mini-series first published by DC Comics in 1986. Written by Alan Moore with art by Dave Gibbons, it uses comic book character archetypes to tell the story of a modern day 1980s in which Richard Nixon is still President of the United States, and the world finds itself on the brink of nuclear disaster.
The self-contained, twelve issue series has since spawned a franchise of comic book spin-offs, television and theatrical adaptations, games, and other media.

* The 1993 Dog City episode "Who Watches the Watch Dog?" borrows from the comic's narrative with The Watch Dog, and the episode title is a riff on a slogan used in the comic, "Who Watches the Watchmen?"
* When Baby Gonzo plays his recurring villainous character Dr. Meanzo in the Muppet Babies episodes "Super Fabulous vs Captain Icecube" and "Skeeter and the Super Girls", his mode of transport, the Meanzocopter, is a stylistic reference to Owlman's air ship "Archie." For "The Ribbiter," the airship was slightly redesigned, when it received an upgrade from a 2D-model to rendered 3D.
