My reasoning is thus: The word "umbrage" has become, if you will, a symbol of the CvS comic. I believe it is much more likely that Wakcher planned to use this word from the beginning, rather than that he decided to use it only after an angry fan (or angry reader) used it in an email message.

Couldn't it just as easily be the case that Wakcher was inspired by Mr. Z's use of the word umbrage in his letter which predates Wakcher's first use of that word. I am not sure if Mr. Z is real although I must confess that I would very much enjoy it if he were. Someone should pose the question to Wakcher and see what he says.

And I do believe that you have posed the question to him simply by mentioning it here

So is your contention that Mr. Z is a real person who is NOT in fact Wakcher?

I think both sides have made reasonable arguments, but so far I am unconvinced. It is a little premature to declare that you have burst my bubble.

Could we not simply accept that Mr. Z is Mr. Z, and enjoy the entertainment his letter provides? Why not just ask a 5 year old if Santa Claus is real or not? Who knows? But why destroy his hope by making him believe otherwise? Much umbrage is taken here!! Tsk tsk...

The letters are getting more and more like a characterture of a self-righteous ignornant pompus (It's obviously not me - I can't spell big words) idiot. Especially the last one - how likely is it the guy would go to all that trouble and not make himself known to bask in his triumph? Who could really be that . . . umbrageous? Anyway, they are fun. And if it isn't Watcher, it was great how he took it over with the first letter if he thought it was real. ML Ohio

No. And I have a feeling that he would take umbrage to a CvS army. He might possibly tell his butler to contact his lawyer, even. If he isn't too busy having blogs read to him out loud, that is. In other news... I think that Mr. Z is an actual man, who actually took umbrage to the comic. However, I also believe that Mr. Z only sent one (possibly two) letter(s) to CvS. After that, he just gave up, but Wakcher still wrote some fictional letters from 'Mr. Z' just to keep us fans amused and because it'd end up pretty lame if we found out that Mr. Z is actually just a quitter who fails at taking umbrage. Either way I'm amused, though. His letters are quite lulzworthy.
