For some reason, I always struggle to come up with names for new characters---even ones that will only appear for a few days. If anyone can think of appropriate/daft names for, say, an outlaw or an Indian then I'd be happy to consider using them. Not happy enough to pay for them, I hasten to add.

How about "Big Jessie James" a slightly effeminate gunslinger, or Not so Butch Cassidy? Actually Bud Neill had the best ever with Rank Bajin. Ditto Indian names, Pawnee Mary o Argyll and Big Chief Toffee Teeth. Still I gave it a thunk, eh Toolita, Gerontiplums? Sigh, I think Mojo had a cousin, a friend of Dances with Wolves called Boogies with Badgers (probably an endangered species now).

Max, you're right in saying that Bud Neill used some great names in his strip but, of course, they were aimed at a Scottish readership and were largely incomprehensible elsewhere. I recall doing an extremely tortured pun in Horace about the Banx and Pawnee tribes from Scotland---the Pawnee Banx of Loch Lomond. There is a genuine Indian tribe called "Bannock" and my original "joke" was to be about the Pawnee Bannocks of Loch Lomond but this seemed so obscure that I cheated and invented a Banx tribe. I have no idea why I bothered with such a contrived and unfunny pun in the first place. I take this opportunity to apologise unreservedly...
