That's who *I* got the notion from! Haynie hid his wife's name "Lois"
numerous times in his cartoons. (Actually, the main inspiration for me
*hiding* "D.U.C.K." in my art rather than simply writing it as I did in my
first few stories was the fact that if I did not *hide* it, the editors
would remove it at Di$ney's command.)
