- ChuckMcM 2y agoJoe Palrang (the guy who drew him) and the Java team called him 'Fang' (he looks like a tooth right?) Somebody didn't like that name (I don't recall if it was corporate or Kim Polese) and at some point the word went out that his name was "Duke".
- jszymborski 2y agoCool! Thanks for the history :) I genuinely never liked the name. Fang is much better.
