June 9, 2020 At least now somebody might take Otto 88's a bit more seriously?

June 9, 2020 I'm sure Logan does... but if Otto isn't doing anything beyond being a drunk, what can he do?

Guess we'll have to find out how CRAZY Crazy Eights really is (:

June 9, 2020 i am so ignorant about symbols of hate. here it was i was trying to figure out why Otto had the Chinese symbol for luck and good fortune tattooed to his chest. i thought in addition to his being a drunk he might also have been a gambler, maybe spent a lot of time in nearby Nevada.

June 9, 2020 Otto is going to be a fun character to learn about I think...

October 8, 2020 I really wish the swastika symbol could get de-nazi-fied, at least enough that people can use it in other contexts and old photos with people wearing swastika symbols at time before the Nazis tainted it wouldn't "needed" to get censored or deleted.

December 25, 2022 According to a documentary i saw once, navaho men returning from WW2 said they were sick of swastikas, and so they stopped appearing on folk crafts.

August 22, 2020 I'd been wondering almost from the start if the mean old man, who has an opposite number in the skin-walker aware old lady with a good hard stick, was being stalked by the God, Coyote.

September 27, 2020 I only know 88 = Neonazi because of the webnovel Worm which had the Empire 88. It was explained that 8 represents the eighth letter of the alphabet - H - and so 88 = HH = Heil Hitler.

Never knew that before.

October 6, 2020 Interesting that Otto has so many ID's. Is he old enough / the comic long ago enough for him to have been a real nazi, and being into hiding.
Although not succeeding at it very well I guess.

October 8, 2020 If your ID gets stolen or you loose it, aren't you obligated to get a new one ASAP? I'd guess that his ID was stolen or got lost several times in a row. Maybe with the help of Coyote, or even by a coyote.

October 8, 2020 If it gets stolen, you're supposed to report it, yeah. If it's just a lot of the same ID's, your comment makes sense.

It's hard to see on the small screens, but I interpreted it as different ID's with the same photo but different names.
Otto isn't a very logical name to be called for a Richard. And here he says his real name is Otto, so why does it say Richard?

October 8, 2020 It said "OTTO, RICHARD, ZKLL" or something (I can't read the last item), on the previous page.

Ah - "His real name is Otto Bell" as Joseph Yazzie said. Maybe Richard is his middle name, idk. At least "Otto" is on the ID, together with "Richard", hmmm...

AgentFink

October 8, 2020 You two are like super sleuths! Yup, his name is Otto Richard Bell. There was an old Arizona license I based it on... which had First, Middle, Last Name in between the commas.

October 8, 2020 Wow - thank you :D

October 8, 2020 You hit the nail on the head!
