I love to look up words in the dictionary. I remember looking up "milquetoast", and finding it came from the name of a character (Casper Milquetoast) in the comic strip, The Timid Soul.
For more than 25 years its author, H. T. Webster, drew comic strips. The Timid Soul was his most famous comic strip, but he also wrote five others. The Timid Soul appeared every Sunday and Monday. The others appeared the other five days. How to Torture Your Wife/Husband, from which these cartoons were taken, was his Friday strip. (I guess he didn't like to be bored!)
Look for this book on the new fiction table.
