It’s pronounced school-kill, although natives pronounce it more like skyl. Nice little Pa town with a lot of interesting history involving the French and Indian War and the Schuylkill Canal, which connected Reading and Philadelphia with the coal region before railroads came along. The origin is either Dutch or native American, depending on which version you believe, but either way, the town is a “haven” or place of safe rest, on the Schuylkill River, which flows down to Philly.But yes, does anyone know the back story on how he picked it for this strip?
