I haven't checked in here for a while, so this may be old news to you guys. In an interview with Groening in Wizard Magazine #128, he revealed that his unofficial name for CBG is Louis Lane. I think that's just TOO perfect! [email]

No, Groening said that he intended on naming him Louis Lane but decided to go with anonymity instead.

There's a distinct difference.

Perfect? I disagree...that's the kind of name I'd expect to see for a one-line character in one episode. If CBG did get a name, it would have to REALLY suit him (e.g. Cosmo seemed great for Kramer), but I don't think they will give him one.

No, its silly.

And even the other citizens of springfield call him "comic book guy", so why wouldnt they call him his "real" name if there was one.

how about Langdon Ulger?

I think his name should be John Donald. That's the name of the first person on a.t.s to ever say "Worst Episode Ever."
