Re: Hypothetical
by Zinnia Cyclamen
I've been thinking about this, and it seems to me that the most memorable comic strip names are the ones that focus on the central character, e.g. Dilbert, Zippy the Pinhead, Andy Capp, Doonesbury, Clare In The Community. So how about a central character with the initials EMT? You could go ordinary (e.g. Edward Michael Turner (Ed Turner - geddit?)), outlandish (e.g. Egbert Mansfield Torremolinos) or intermediate (e.g. Eric Magnus Truscott). Not as seductive as some of the titles suggested above - but as the name became associated with the character and his activities, it would become memorable. (For some strange reason I've assumed the central character would be male! But the same principle would work for a female one.) After all, if someone had suggested Dilbert or Doonesbury as names for comic strips, I don't think they would have been leapt upon with cries of delight - yet they're very memorable now.
