Every so often, I like to take a break from my time at the dog track to give all you aspiring cartoonists out there some advice. Nothing will ever say "hello, I'd like to spend some time with you and I'm not saying that in a weird way" to your audience more than your comic's title.

So you should think it over VERY carefully. You don't want to get stuck with something that will seem dated or inappropriate should the comic run for 70-140 years. Here are some original titles that were changed at the last minute (and Phew! almost always for the better). See if you can guess what comics the 11 titles below are today. 

1) Heavenly Nostrils

2) I Hope Someday I'll Have Real Friends

3) Li'l Folks

4) I Can't Stop Thinking About Lynda Carter

5) Ripley's Believe Me or I'll Step on Your Toe

6) Oh, That Consistently Foolish But Also Humorously Giant Dog!

7) The Comic Strip That Would Never Ever Have a Finale Every Day

8) The Gourd Who Sat Too Long in Brine

9) Iphelia Payne: Noisy Widower

10) Fritzi Ritz 

11) Off the Merkin!
