Name

The title of the magazine, "CLiNT", is controversial in that it has been written with an upper-case "L" followed by a lower-case "i" in order to create a double entendre. This has been a long-running joke in comics because text was usually upper-case and sans-serif, so in order to avoid confusion writers avoided words like "CLINT" and "FLICK" in case poor quality printing caused the letters to blur and be read as "CUNT" and "FUCK".^[4]
