Because it sounds similar to the name of one of the people he's based on, and giving Goose and Robin both bird-themed names is cute since they're best friends.
what character is he based on?
Are you replying to me? Goose is based on a personal friend of mine. In general, the comic is lightly based on the shenanigans of me and my friends.
ohh, i thought he might have been based on a character from Robinson Crusoe, so I was curious. but basing comics on irl life is cool too, i do the same thing in lot of my stories
Her comic strip was designed to express something very specific, but I think giving her the beauty marks made her more human instead of just a stand in. So did the moon dress which is just because I'm A space girl and love moons, stars and planets
