Scott Fitzgerald was named after his [albeit distant] cousin, Francis Scott Key, author of the US national anthem.

Some talents must run in families. Also: names.

Other things that run in families are comics. If you would like to join the family of The Drawing Board, please send your application in comic form to CPO 100 or leah.doty14 @houghton.edu. There is a vacant position under the strip title Reasons to Sleep Just One More Tiny Minute.

Unattainably, Leah
