I came across this entry in LS’s hard-copy list of Tony “moments.” So of course I had to check. I knew that Dave had addressed Tony’s predecessor and late partner, Marty Zone, as “Inky” on LN back in 1993. (1)pic.twitter.com/pCZ6znc0JN

But I wanted to see if anyone before Marty had been called “Inky.” So I searched the name in my LN database. From 1982-‘91 I got hits for “Winky,” “Pinky,” “Hinky,” “Blinky,” and “Slinky,” but no “Inky.” (2)
Then searched through the LS transcripts in Worldwide Pants’ licensing site. It turns out that September 5, 1994, was indeed the first show that Dave had referred to Tony as “Inky,” I hope aware of the precedent with Marty. So important! (3/)
