Maybe Sally in panel one just copied his name from the phone book. For younger people who don’t know, the phone book printed names surname first. For example our artist would have been listed as Schulz Charles.
" to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee." one of my favorite quotes in a ll of literature.

Well, “Richard Moby” should get past the GoComics censor-bots… even after their next change of the “rules”.

Sally is much too young to sail into “Moby Dick.” Maybe there was a children’s book about a Mopey Dick? Or Moody Dick?
