R Raffertiki Member L.I. Joined: Oct 31, 2003 Posts: 1527	R Raffertiki Posted posted on 04/13/2004 I've decided to make this a monthly comic on my site but I need a name. The strip will be about a beachcomber-type dude, and will take its inspiration from the tiki/surf/beach scenes. Whoever names my comic will get a free T-Shirt.

R Raffertiki Member L.I. Joined: Oct 31, 2003 Posts: 1527	R Raffertiki Posted posted on 04/15/2004 Wow, you guys must have conered the market on thinking caps, and Scrimshaw, that must have been some dream. I'll bet rum was involved. There are many great names here, but a few fit my comic better than others. Here is the shortlist: Off the Hook Marooned on the Mainland Adrift Washed Up (or Beached) AAAARRRR! Beachcombing (mine, but not qualified for t-shirt) The bar has been set accordingly. If you can top these, by all means do. I'll give it one more week before making my final decision. Thanks everyone.

C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on 04/16/2004 For what it's worth I liked "Bamboozled." Also, I have been using the name "Off the Hook " for a cartoon that I do for The Monterey Bay Trout and Salmon Project Newletter. I have only done a few comics for them and never did do any kind of trademark or copyright procedure for it. I dont really think my strip will be published in anything other than the newsletter. So I dont mind sharing the name. Just wanted to let you know that name was already being used somewhere. Good luck with the toonz.

C crataegus Member Columbia, SC Joined: Mar 30, 2004 Posts: 35	C crataegus Posted posted on 04/16/2004 I can't believe nobody suggested "Kumanawanalei'a". C'mon, folks! Actually, if you're looking for names, make sure it hasn't been taken. Go to http://onlinecomics.net/ or Google and search for the words. People tend to get a little bit shirty (not to mention litigious) when they think you're infringing upon their imagined trademarks. And then, people with actual registered trademarks and servicemarks get beyond shirty and litigious if they think you're "defaming the brand presence" or whatever.
R Raffertiki Member L.I. Joined: Oct 31, 2003 Posts: 1527	R Raffertiki Posted posted on 04/17/2004 Chongolio, I wouldn't think of infringing. Can we see any of your comic work online? Sorry Tiki Chris. Craetagus, that's a pretty cool link. Thanks. My wife's a patent paralegal, but is also well versed in Trademarks. She'll keep me straight.
C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on 04/17/2004 Hey Raffer-T, If you like the name by all means infringe, that is if somebody else hasn't already layed claim to it. I really am not doing much with my strip. It only shows up in a a local bi-monthly newsletter. I dont have any of the "Off the Hook" cartoons online. Maybe someday they will get posted on the MBSTP website but for now they are only in print. I do have a few cartoons on my site. Feel free to check them out at your leisure: http://www.lost-isle.com/dig.html

C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on 04/17/2004 Thanks, Raffertiki. Cartoons can be tricky, definately not my forte, but I still dig goofy humor. Chongolio

R Raffertiki Member L.I. Joined: Oct 31, 2003 Posts: 1527	R Raffertiki Posted posted on 04/23/2004 And the winner is... MAROONED ON THE MAINLAND. There were a lot of good names that would work great on other comic strips or projects, including someof the late entries like "Rum Luck" and "Two kicks in the kidneys" LOL. But "Marooned on the Mainland" nailed it. It really sets the tone nicely and is general enough for what I have in mind. So thanks everyone for contributing, and lets hear it for, Scrimshaw! Scrimshaw, PM me with your shirt size and address.
