Thank you for explaining. Never knew Ace used to have that connotation. I had heard Bill Gates chose the name Apple to be at the beginning of the phone book. I sometimes wonder what name he would have chosen if he had made Apple today.
I recall Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine) mentioning once that he does color himself, but the (colorists?) are responsible for the final presentation. I guess they goofed on the last panel.
