Dwight Decker mentioned the transformations that Peg Leg Pete, Black Pete,
etc. has gone through over the years. While I don't remember "Sneaky Pete,"
there was one story in the '70s where he was referred to as "Bold Pete."
I suppose that was nixed because Americans at that time thought boldness
was a desireable trait in their children. (And now we have the X generation
to show for it.) Then again, maybe they thought he would get confused
witha a popular laundry detergent... :)
