Mutant Slang a cousin of Nadsat?

This seems to be Frank Miller's nod to Anthony Burgess' prose of ultraviolence and growing up, Clockwork Orange.

Nadsat was more developed, but then again Burgess had a lot more pages to make interesting as well.

Anyone agree?

I don't know for sure, but the fictional future slang of A Clockwork Orange was probably an influence on Miller when he created the slang of the Mutants.
