M.A.S.Okay. – Buddie Hawks or Buddy Hawkes, who cares?

Early this morning, there turned into a submit on the M.A.S.Okay. PNA Fb internet page.  It showed a belief quilt by IDW artist Tommy Lee Edwards – one which obtained’t be printed within the comic.


It depicted a image of Buddie Hawks alongside with his title shown as “Buddy”.  I made a mumble about said image relating to the unsuitable spelling of his title.  We’re turning into accustomed to errors within the comic and, even if this image isn’t always the truth is going to grace the quilt of any of the comics, I felt it turned into the apt to point out this error.


One other FB user then made a mumble that I must test my details as his title is Buddy.  I suitably replied with images of the containers of Boulder Hill, the Buddie Hawks settle and the Trademark registration for the apt spelling of the title.


Myself and this moderately plenty of user, obtained into a “heated” discussion, nonetheless hold since mentioned by technique of Inner most Message and I judge now we hold settled our variations.  He has since removed about a of his posts – which inadvertently makes me behold appreciate a minute little bit of dick and perfect ranting for no motive at no convey particular person.


Since then, about a reasonably plenty of folks, including the artist Tommy Lee Edwards, hold made feedback on the submit.  I lend a hand all people to hold their very have belief and portion it whether or not in public or non-public.  As BT unparalleled to enlighten “it is correct to discuss!”


You might well additionally focus on within the feedback below, over at my M.A.S.Okay. Comics Fb Web page or even electronic mail me whenever you happen to appreciate.


There is, then again, a incompatibility between belief and truth.  My declaring his title is Buddie isn’t always the truth is an belief, it is a truth.  Sure, folks had been getting his title unfriendly for years and for moderately some time I believed his surname turned into spelt “Hawkes” – errors produce happen.


One quiz that turned into raised by Jason Atrocious of Brokers of M.A.S.Okay. is, “Who Cares?” 


“Who Cares?”


Wow, now that would possibly perchance well properly be a quiz that must be answered.





Aid within the day, Kenner cared about their merchandise.  In M.A.S.Okay. they gave all of us early life about a of basically the most attention-grabbing toys ever made that spawned a fleshy cartoon sequence, comics and merchandise.


As followers of the sequence, kind not we care?  Shouldn’t we care?  Why hold blogs, podcasts, Fb Pages or even focus on M.A.S.Okay. if we kind not care?


I care!


When I wrote my M.A.S.Okay. script, I took as unprecedented care and component to attention as I would possibly perchance well to make certain the characters had been apt, that the M.A.S.Okay.’s had the apt positive aspects, that the chronicle turned into in vogue but in accordance to the M.A.S.Okay. that we all cared about.


If we kind not care, then lets all agree to quit.  Lets not portion our reports, our images or our memories.  Let’s cease shopping IDW’s Silly and perfect name it a day.


So, let me set a question to the quiz – Buddie Hawks or Buddy Hawkes, who cares?
