I hope it provides some comfort to you and your sister to know that I named my daughter Emmy Lou, thanks to your mom. I don't know if anyone else did this, but now you know that at least one "real" person has the name your mother created. I would have liked to tell this to your mom, but after they stopped publishing the comic strip, I did not know how to get in touch with her. My Emmy Lou, was born on May 9, 1974. When she was old enough to understand, I told her how her name came about. She never quite believed me, so I tried to obtain a copy of the Emmy Lou comic strip, but I was never successful. If you happen to have any drawing around, I would appreciate getting a copy. Thank you and God bless! Guillermo Munoz PS: My best friend is Guillermo Arguello, brother of Alexis Arguello.

Marty didn't use a "male name" because she feared that editors wouldn't accept a woman; Marty was simply her nickname for Martha. BTW, like Hilda Terry and Dale Messick, Marty had been very influenced by Nell Brinkley as a girl. I'm currently putting together a large full color collection of Brinkley's gorgous art for Fantagraphics, and had planned to present a copy to Marty when the book came out in 09. I'm sorry now that this won't be possible. Heidi, you can read more information on Marty in my book, The Great Women Cartoonists, which is where Don Marktsein got the information he sent you.
