I loved the Pogo comic strip (old shit from the '50s and one of the main influences on Bill Waterson for Calvin and Hobbes) growing up and it gave me the habit of using non-words like "momenterribly". I know it makes people think I'm a moron and I don't care.
It also gave me the habit of saying "Friday the 13th fall on a Tuesday this month". Same effect and same apathy on my part.
If you remember Pogo, look up political novelist Ross Thomas. He was a Washington based reporter for most of the 1950s and started writing fiction in the 1960s. 'The Fools In Town Are On Our Side' is about an attempt to clean up a corrupt Southern city by making it so rotten that even the pimps will vote for reform.
