Roscoe's character name takes some flak...
Nerd By Northwest #259 – “Character Naming”
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
Everyone who played D&D as a kid had at least one character whose name you look back as an adult and shudder in embarrassment thinking about it. I think mine was probably a mage by the name of "Starfire" around age 12. I didn't get that from the DC comics character, as I only read Marvel comics as a kid. So that means I came up with that on my own.
Even now I'm not sure if that's better, or worse.... 😏

I find myself looking forward to these more and more. This must be what newspaper readers of the 80s (and earlier) felt like when they found a strip they enjoyed. Haha. Keep em coming. 😃
Thanks! As a kid in the 80's & 90's one of my favorite strips was Bloom County (and later Outland). I liked how the cartoonist Berke Breathed tended to have long, goofy story arcs that build on the previous ones, until they became a history of sorts. Even IF I was too young to understand some of the references. 😏
oh Bloom County
how you are missed :)
Rosk Starfoot is a fine name!
