When you hear the names Gruffy and Scruffy do you think good guys are bad guys?

Well obviously I wasn't smart enough to catch on - but once you said the name of the books, I realized.

You know if you did a science fiction sort of comic this would work really well.

I'm remembering the Bullwinkle & Rocky cartoons. A lot of their humor was sohisticated in nature, but that didn't mean I didn't get any of it.

I remember enjoying it from a kids perspective, and being quite pleased with myself when I caught some of the more mature humor.

Now, I remember the cartoons, and the adult stuff, and get a new perspective.

I don't know much about kid shows nowadays, but some of what I see challenges the kids to put things together.
Like I think I said, when I was a kid, if I heard the names scruffy and gruffy, even if I was a little kid, I would feel like whoever came up with those names didn't think I was very smart.
You can tell a good story, make kids laugh, but make them think at the same time.

Honestly, I originally thought of Jules, since he was one of the bad guys in Pulp Fiction.
Then trying to think of the opposite, the good guy, that just popped in my head, THEN I got the connection.

I think little kids wouldn't get it until they were in school, and learned about Jules Verne. Then they would think "Hey, that was cool"

Are you sure?

I went elsewhere and some people think the names Gruffy and Scruffy could work for heroes. One person said for chaotic heroes and that's what I was thinking.

I get the reference- Jules Verne was a writer. In Back To The Future III Doc Brown named his kids Jules and Verne.

Gruffy and Scruffy are related to my main hero. I am trying to keep a theme going for my main character's relatives:

Have slangy names
Have names that start with "T" and end with "Y"
or
Have names that rhyme with my main character's name

Have you given up on the testicles thing?

Most of the characters in my comic have slang names.

All this talk of balls is making me TESTEY !!!!

TouchY ....... suits you sir..

That's not a slang term.

I used to watch Rocky and Bullwinkle too- I liked Mr. Peabody.

I am not going to come out and say it, but in case you people are wondering what my main hero's name is, this ought to give you an indication of it.

I know! I know!

Testicley...

Seriously I'd say ..... Tricky...?

I think you should tell everyone else what you just pm'd me. Namely that you accused me of posting PORN on your thread, to whit The Buster Gonad Strip.

I reckon he's a closet wanker.

Buster Gonad, how could anyone possibly be aroused by that?

* wmwcjr shakes his head *

craziest thread I've ever seen ...

It wasn't meant to be- I wasn't sure of something so I asked about it.

This was like talking to a bunch of delinquents.
