I think it would be interesting to find the story of why he named himself after the Revolutionary war general Artemas Ward. I know a lot of his humor was based on misspelling and mispronunciation, so that part fits. It's not immediately evident on a Google search, but I'll try to find it.

[edit] Very Silly
