Lil' AA Characters of Who Demand Mention |
Extrapolation
When Lil' AA creator Jonathan Trenchwheat created Jingo in August of 1964, the character was originally a woman. Concieved as a kind of "cutey-pie Red Lady of Babylon", Trenchwheat hurriedly transformed the character into dwarf in the very next Sunday strip. Though the change was inexplicable, not a single reader complained and the Red Lady was never heard from again. Even reprints of the single panel of Jingo's introduction have been excised, replaced with a rather crudely scrotted illustration of a pigeon.
