[edit] Kirward Derby
I apologize for changing this to "Kerwood," which was how I remembered it, after someone else apparently already had attended to the spelling. I have since watched one of the cartoons on YouTube and the voice actors are clearly pronouncing the second R, so I was wrong, although the cartoon I saw did not show the name in any onscreen titles, which may have been what I remembered. If "Kirward" is correct, however, then it is incorrect to say that the spoonerism was based on a mispronunciation, so I took that part out when reverting the spelling. Richard K. Carson (talk) 04:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC) Indeed, as one can see from my username, I also mis-remembered the name of the hat; only after viewing a DVD of the episode did I re-discover the correct spelling. Although I have a screen capture of the actual name, I'm prevented from linking to it here due to copyright restrictions. --KerwoodDerby (talk) 01:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Concerning that Rocky & Bullwinkle serial, the article states that Kirby was convinced not to pursue legal action, but in that case, why was it not seen for many years (it did turn up on Nickelodeon, c. 1990), and why have several sources attributed that situation to a suit, or at least a threat of one, from Kirby?
