OK, I looked around and didn't really find anywhere suitable for this.

He's like Cher, he doesn't need a second name. Oh, and just because it's big in my family, I bet he got his wealth from ebay, that's where we get everything we don't use.

Well, the wealth bit comes from royalties on fire...I'll dig through the archives and see if I can find the series of strips pertaining to that. It's in there somewhere, I just don't know exactly what strips they were. Or the month or year they were in. Hm.<br><br>The basic idea in those was that Og Llewellyn decided to get a copyright on fire back in prehistoric times, and apparently it still stands. I'm pretty sure that was it.

But surely he would have needed more than one name to differentiate himself from all the other Llewellyn's in his family? <br>and to take you a little too seriously, he was already wealthy by the time he adopted Ozy and that was before the time of Ebay <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br><i>eta</i> Oh I'ld forgotten about the fire royalties

As Simpson has said a few times, only Llewellen knows which stories are true, and which are made up. Which was a great idea, because he can use that to explain away any inconsistences that his fans might notice.

Calvin never had a last name and his parents never even had names, yet we accept it as it is. Lucy always pulls the football, Road Runner always wins, etc etc. Despite what's said a little repetition can be funny.

I'ld accept that if somewhere it hadn't been said that Llewellyn only had one name. It's just one of those little things that bothers me. Of course he doesn't need one for the purposes of the strip.<br>Maybe, even though it's not a Llewelyn thing to be insecure or wanting what he can't have,that's why he has a fondmness for his<a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.net/2003/om20030819.html' target='_blank'>head of state</a> title<br>Repetition can be funny hence the discussion of running gag's in the <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... owtopic=82' target='_blank'>Current strip</a> thread. But Llewellyn's single name doesn't come into this. I accepted the single name as a 'it is what it is' thing until we heard about Percival Smaug Llewellyn.

Maybe Llewellyn got to chose his name later on in life? Perhaps he had a really embarrasing name early on. perhaps his real name WAS snoochy-pie. *snrrk* <br><br>Okay Llewellyn, I'm sorry, don't hurt me once you become president!
