I’m pretty sure Cyrus is an eagle scout. I can kind of identity, I made it to second class scout before they threw me out.

edit: hmm, it’s not in the Middendorp article, I must be thinking of someone else.

I wonder how the young Cyrus Highsmith decided on Scout as a name for the Entertainment Weekly typeface? It sure wasn’t from Jay Silverheels!

Humph, that Spanish. [See Wikipedia.]

Tonto speak Potawatame.

[According to this Kimosabe comes from Ojibaway language. I guess Tonto got around.]]

Gotta love a show where the two main characters call each other “idiot”.
