That's pretty funny actually. You create a moniker all on your own. Someone else comes in and because they messed it up while reaching a wider audience, you change your moniker and embrace the change. Maybe it's not the same in hip-hop as other subcultures, where you build around your name or rather something is built while known by an alias. I was watching a local dance/hip-hop show and after a couple people/groups performed, there was a short chat segment. The host asked the guests how many names they had gone by and all the people on this show had between 3 or 5 other "stage" names before their current incarnations. And as I just learned, Bull99 became Fred Fab 5, so maybe it was no big deal to change to Fab 5 Freddy. Interesting. I'd say you don't see many major acts changing names, but then there's Sean Combs. Even Snoop was once Snoop Doggy Dogg and then Snoop Dogg. So what do I know. I've seen many bands change names as members come and go, but the band member themselves usually don't their individual identity. /End Rambling. Thanks again Ed for these Tuesday strips. Keep 'em coming! Huh. No shit. That’s pretty funny actually. You create a moniker all on your own.

For sticklers of accuracy, the train that I drew in the comic was Fred's first Campbell's Soup Train. The one that's on the inside front cover of "Subway Art". Which is also where I got Lee's, Martha's and Henry's reference for attire.  Word up. For sticklers of accuracy, the train that I drew in the comic was Fred’s first Campbell’s Soup Train.
