    The diversity of characters in the strip was also unprecendented, from African-Americans (Oliver Wendell Holmes, Rosalinda) who, unlike black characters in other strips, namely Peanuts, were actually of their own ethnicity, to the wheelchair-bound 'Nam vet Cutter John.

    JONES... Oliver Wendell JONES...

    Oliver Wendell Holmes was a famous poet.

    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. was a famous lawyer.

    Oliver Wendell Jones was a famous young hacker with a Banana Jr. computer.
