Funny things

What's in a name

The inventor Gyro Gearloose was originally named Willy Wortel in Dutch (with a y). Somewhere in the 60s, they decided to change his name into Willie Wortel (with ie). But the logo remained the same for some time, with as a result strange inconsistencies like in the example below.

Maybe you also saw this in DD 43 of 2002. They took it over from this website.

DD1961-15
