<description><![CDATA[I apologize for not reading all of the comments before adding mine. I know it's rude, but there are too many.

Some newspapers will not carry your comic, but most will. The controversy will add to your readership however, as everyone who is not allowed to read it in their newspaper will want to see what the fuss was about. Either way, you win. Don't dumb down the comic just because the editors won't like it. The faithful will respect you more.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi Scott- have you thought about an equally obscene foreign word? If you can't get around the evil editor - maybe it would be a workaround. I would suggest &quot;Kackfresse&quot; - sounds good in English too and it means !$%*! face&quot; in German.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I think the name is too crass.

Alice, Dilbert, Dog-/Ratbert are al neutral names and their personality isn't unclear at all.
Topper and Mordac are neutral too.

Personally I'd be in favour of you coming up with a name that fits better into the dilbert tribe and is funny and possibly descriptive without being crude.

I mean, look at elbonia. If you needed a country of dumb people, would you call it as primitively as, say, &quot;stuphidia&quot; in 2013? I hope not.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The only problem I see with &quot;Bathturd&quot; is that it's more gross than funny.  Therefore, my vote is to create a funnier name that has no editorial issues.  It never ceases to amaze me how there are thousands of men (all likely over the age of 50, mind you) in America who actually and willingly go by the name of &quot;Dick.&quot;  Good morning, Dick!  How's it going, Dick?  Good to see you again, Dick.  I have to stifle my inner sophomore every time I encounter it, yet there goes Richard, going about his business as if there's nothing wrong with it at all.  There was a guy who worked at my previous company by the name of... wait for it... Dick Quiggle.  True story.  I wouldn't lie to you.  I also knew two Richards who started a house-flipping business, and their business checks literally said, &quot;Dick &amp; Dick Enterprises.&quot;  These chaps, at least, got the joke and ran with it.  I ask you though.  In 2013, who, in their right mind, willingly goes by this name anymore?  Of course, perhaps this is a &quot;legacy data&quot; problem at its finest.  It's not as though these Dicks can suddenly stop one day and proclaim, &quot;Don't call me that anymore.  Please use 'Rich' instead.&quot;  There has to be a comedic gold mine of opportunities here, Scoot.  Whoops, I mean Scott.  Therefore, I propose Dick Bathfurt as this character's name.  I would have gone with Dick Swingline, but we don't want movie producers or stapler manufacturers going after you.  Plus, those Bathfurts sure are stanky.  Go ahead and use it, man.  I won't even sue you or anything.  Dick Bathfurt, C.P.A.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This strip and character should be treated the same way that all strips and characters SHOULD be treated. That is: you write them the way you think they should be; that's it. If your readers don't like it, you will lose readership; if the papers don't like it and decline to publish it, THEY will lose readership.

At the end of the day, the quality of your product (which is very much a form of art) will not benefit from letting other people's sensibilities determine the content. People will either enjoy what you do or not. If you try to second-guess your art in order to pander to some people's ideas of propriety then you are compromising what you produce and all your readers are cheated out of the real product.

Sorry that this response is not funny.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I love Stanky Bathturd.  That definiitely needs to be put online.  It is the reason why I like your blog.  Being a little naughty is good.  

Make your clients happy.  I like the suggestions of Stanky Bathurd and Irving Paymore.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[1) That's the best name you could imagine?  You used to be more subtle.

2) It always annoyed me when the paper ran old comics.  Sure for you it's no thing but your fans are missing out if your humor is unnecessarily hidden behind crassness.

3) Why not call him SBT to bump your blog traffic?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I cannot believe how many people are pretending to be offended by &quot;Stanky Bathturd&quot;. It's not like you named him !$%*! !$%*!$%*!$%*! Ignoring the fact that not only do children not read the newspaper, but literally no one does, if you give in to censorship, which this essentially is, you do us all a disservice. Print your concept as you intended it, and let the newspapers make the wrong move, again. They can't have but another few years in them either way.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The IRS requires preparers to obtain &quot;Electronic Filing Identification Numbers,&quot; for which the acronym is EFIN and can be pronounced as one word like...well, you should figure it out.  So, to play off of a real IRS term, give the government character !$%*!$%* up the Tax Code the first name of &quot;Efin.&quot;  Give him the last name of something fancy like &quot;D'code,&quot; so he would be &quot;Efin D'code&quot;]]></description>
