Don't really know why it works like that, I always just assumed the first Richard was a total dick to people or something.
My thoughts on it:

Richard ---> Germans take name, pronounce as Rickard ---> Shortened to Rick ---> English take name, one guy thinks to change R to D ---> That catches on for some reason, and Dick is born!

OT:

Haha... Mountain of dongs. :p

I have no idea who those two guys are supposed to be but funny comic nonetheless.

I'm surprised some people actually had to have the Slowbro point out the Dickens joke. That's... unsettling.

No, you see, there was also a writer called Dickens.

Oh so they're supposed to be the writers of the webcomic? That makes sense. They appear in the Civ 5 one with Ghandi too!

It was always funny to me how English people name their children after genitalia.
I wonder who was the first to name his kid Dick.
[sub]No offense intended towards people whose names are Dick.[/sub]
The father of my mother's friend was named Richard Handy, but went by "Dick." Mom's friend was always mortified when he answered the phone "Dick Handy!"


On topic: 'Twas a fine epic indeed. I hope to see more like this in the future!
I remember in high school gym class we threw javelins one time, and the brand name was "Dick Held", which was hysterical.
