Strip by: Luke99

Loid Forgerbuckle: By the way, Thorn Princess, what's your name?
Yor Wilson: Yor
Loid Forgerbuckle: Gee, what a pretty name. Is that short for Yolanda?
Yor Wilson: No. It's short for Yor Mama
Las-Anya Cat: Yor must not be much for small talk

The author writes:

Yes, Yor is short for Yolanda, a common name of Eastern European stock. The swapping of an "L" for an "R" is due to the Japanese affection for swapping "L" sounds for "R" sounds, hence Yor instead of Yol, which is perfect for all those Yor Mama jokes.

Original strip: 1979-06-27.
