Marciuliano, who is also registered on the boards, even created a logo for the site during a major site redesign in early 2010, while Bob Weber has actually used the blog to sell official Slylock Fox merchandise directed at the adult fans of his strip. Josh has also developed a great deal of Running Gags within the blog, including Aldo Kelrast, a character in Mary Worth, whose storyline became one of the strip's most popular after Josh began joking about it. Archie has even made reference to one of the blog's running gags. Read it here.
