Where did the name XQUZYPHYR come from? Why is it always in all caps?

0

“XQUZYPHYR” was the handle I used on dial-up BBSs (local precursors to today’s modern internet) way back in the early 90’s. The original idea WAS to create a deliberately unpronouncable name, as it would only be known online. As the handle was always written in all caps, it has always seemed weird (as if XQUZYPYHR isn’t weird enough on its own) to write it out otherwise, therefore XQUZYPHYR’s name is always spelled all caps. As most comics are all caps anyway, you don’t tend to notice it.
