Nosh and "Bearded Dragon" Lizards

in News by DaveKellett

I got an e-mail from a Sheldonista, or wait, no...a Drive-ista? ...hold on...did we come up with a name for Drive readers yet? Drivers? Familia? I genuinely can't remember.

Anyway: Drive reader David C. e-mailed me asking if Nosh was styled after a type of lizard called "Bearded Dragons," and kindly sent along this pic, which, you've gotta admit, DO LOOK LIKE OUR BOY A BIT, DON'T IT?

David and his wife even named their "beardie" (seen below, crawling on Sheldon original art) Nosh, in recognition of the similarity. And apparently, the little dude is an unstoppable eating machine as well.

Thanks, David!

I'm not sure what we decided on, but I like "Drivers"!

"Skitter James and the Drivers" sounds like an awesome honky-tonk bar band.

I would definitely buy any album by "Skitter James and the Drivers".

You have La Familia for the close family. I suggest "(La) Familia Extensa" for the extended Drive family. Still family, but not close enough to have a vote on things.

Alternately, "(La) Conductores" for Drivers.

How about naming Skitter's species Lagartos?

And the top echelon of La Familia, sort of the innermost council, "The (La) Patrón"? Then the war council or the general staff or whatever, the "Jefes De La Guerra" or simply "La Guerra"?

I don't know about Drive reader names, but wouldn't "Mr. Steve Skitter" be acceptable for the little guy?

I think "Drivers" is going to win out. It's too generic, but nothing else sounds good.

My three beardies love reading Sheldon too! Especially the strips with Flaco. :) Flaco is like Justin Bieber for beardies!
