Is The Giant a Pratchett fan?

[Nerd-o-rama]

I actually thought I saw a Disc reference somewhere in the comic, but I can't remember where. Then again, it may have been one of those cases where it's just a cigar.

Or just a crotchety but badass City Watch commander smoking a cigar. The Chief back in Cliffport reminded me of Vimes, but I'm relatively sure they're just of the same archetype.
