Is Karnages outfit based on any real historical uniform?
LS: Karnage was described as a pirate so his costume reflects that. SK: In an interview in the TaleSpin comic, Jim Cummings said he was told to give the character “some kind of accent”. The accent he came up with is perhaps Karnage’s most distinctive feature. What sort of voice did you have in mind when you were designing the character? LS: At the time I got involved I don’t think there was any thought given to the voice (at least no thoughts that were conveyed to me.) I don’t even think Jim Cummings was involved at that point. SK: In the same interview, it was said that the character’s original name was “Anthrax”, but the rock band of the same name objected, and “Don Karnage” was chosen instead. Did you have any part in the naming process, and if so, what were some of the other suggestions? (Ironically enough, it seems there is now a French Canadian band named “Don Karnage”! I don’t know if there’s any connection or not.) LS: No involvement in the names—that was a writer thing. SK:
