Roger Stern summed it up best. He said that Wolverine was the kind of guy who would punctuate with the F-word, while Ben Grimm was the kind of guy who would actually say "blankety-blank". | |
-----------Perfect example of actually knowing the characters!

I was asked to use a better word than "muck" to describe....muck. The technical term for material removed from a tunnel. Muck can be soil, rock, concrete, grout, timbers, miscellaneous debris, etc. I offered them "spoils" and they were fine with "muck".

New BSG used frakkin and frak a lot (not frakkin flarkin!)... but they got it from old BSG. Dirk Benedict himself would say FRAK! a fair bit.

I've been thinking about the problem with writing FLICK, CLINT, and (less significantly) SLICK in all caps with the printing quality of comics in the 20th century. Do you think the choice to give Hawkeye the name Clint, which he didn't get until several years after he debuted, was a deliberate naughty joke?

I don't have the issue in front of me, but there's a villain in Lost Generation who symbol-swears constantly. I thought it was a fun choice for a character who was designed to appear in only one issue (I forget, was he ripped in half by another villain, or was that a Nazi-themed bad guy?), but it would have been grating if he popped up more often. Was that your idea, JB, or all Mr. Stern?
