I went elsewhere and got other opinions - these names are fine.


it doesn't matter what we tell you or anyone else tells you, it'll come down to what the publishers and editors decide

don't waste time on this naming crap. call them A/B/C and D. the final decision is not going to be made by you.

pay attention to your artwork and plots and PRAY that someone thinks they're good enough to publish.

Would other blacks be offended if I had a character named Coon, or a name with the word "Coon" in it, or something along those lines?

Shocked Are you kidding me? As a 61-year-old white guy, I've heard the word "coon" used as a racist slur for decades, second only to "nigger." You must live a sheltered life to not be aware of this. I don't mean to be hard on you, but Sheesh!

That's a new one on me, and I'll take your word for it. But, then again, being white, I'm not familiar with all the slang used by black Americans today. That doesn't make me a racist; it simply means it's outside the range of my own experience.

You're the only person I've encountered who thinks poofy isn't gay.

According to Wikipedia, Mandingo has done 319 porn film while you have yet to do one comic.

I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall watching when your comic comes before the review board at some "CHristian" publishing house.

@izzythepush,
POOFY - YES, NOT PUFFY.

PUFFY IS NOT THE SAME THING AS POOFY.

ARE YOU THAT STUPID AND OBTUSE???

OR OR YOU SOME DIEHARD HEADCASE WHO LIKES SCREWING WITH PEOPLE, LIKES SOME KIND OF SADISTIC SHREW??

COLLINS ENGLISH DICTIONARY:
PUFF: Derogatory slang. A male homosexual.

PUFFY: adj.

puff AND puffy AND poof AND poofy AND poofter, ALL MEAN GAY.'

You're hyphenated all right, Jason, Idiot-American.

@MontereyJack,
Do they make a SLANG DICTIONARY? I am in the market for SLANG DICTIONARIES.

IF NOT, THEN SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT GARBAGE.

SHOW ME A LINK TO VERIFY THAT CLAIM OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

@ehBeth,
I would like to know who do you think YOU are trying to dictate to ME how to write MY comic book.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO JUDGE? IF I WANT TO USE SLANG WEBSITES AND SLANG DICTIONARIES AS REFERENCE MATERIAL THAT IS MY BUSINESS - I AM NOT USING VULGAR SLANG- I AM WRITING A KIDS' BOOK.

Did you see "derogatory SLANG" in the definition, Jason?.
When you look in a dictionary do you ignore the part where it says "puffy" is the adjectival form of "puff", Jason?
Are you competent in understanding written English, Jason?
Have you looked at the other 20 or so highly sexual senses in which PUFF is used in the Urban Dictionary definition? Do you really think you can dictate to people that they can only use your definition when they read your comics, when they KNOW the other definitions and are just going to think you're an idiot? You ask the questions, and you get the answer. It's not our fault that the answers point up your total lack of knowledge.
