The Story - When Bruce Plante wanted to use Poughkeepsie in one of his cartoons, he had had some difficulty spelling the mid-Hudson Valley’s Queen City.
“Being a cartoonist, it was almost embarrassing the way I was trying to spell it,” said Plante, editorial cartoonist for the Tulsa (Okla.) World newspaper. “I tried, P-E, P-I, P-A. I had to Google it and it popped up pretty quickly … after the third vowel change.”The editorial cartoon sought to poke fun at Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning’s frequent use of “Omaha” as he called out the signals before initiating a play.
Plante said Poughkeepsie was the first name that popped into his head.“It’s a funny name,” said Plante, who added he also does stand-up comedy.
