This joke grew out of a comment on "introposition" (http://absorbascon.blogspot.com/2005/08/power-of-introposition.html%22) -- the way Silver-Age comics characters would introduce themselves in a single word balloon. So if you had to introduce yourself like that, how would you do it?

Before the 1990s, comics were mostly printed using a very primitive four-color process that was basically "four bit", only allowing for 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% color. I had the ... privilege of working with such a process a long time ago. So sorry -- no fancy tones or gradients here, just good ol' flat colors with some minor offset problems, plus a fake yellowing to capture that cheap newsprint feel.
