![]() I don't know if this has been brought up before, but since I haven't seen it, I decided to mention it.
WHY does Mr. Herriman refer to all the male characters on the show by the title, "Master" So-and-So? According to what I was taught as a child, with regards to title etiquette, you are to refer to a male as "Master" Whatever if he is under 18 years of age, and therefore not legally an adult, and use the title "Mister" once he reaches the age of 18(and beyond). In that case, I can understand Herriman referring to Mac and Bloo as "Master Mac" and "Master Blooregard", since they are just eight and five, respectively, but he also refers to Wilt and Eduardo as "Master Wilt" and "Master Eduardo", when both of them are certainly older than 18! Since Eduardo IS quite childlike, I can almost see using that title when referring to him, but Wilt acts as grown-up as I'd expect most human males of his age to act, so there's really no excuse there. It can't be because they're Imaginary Friends, since Herriman refers to HIMSELF as "MISTER Herriman", and he, too, is just as Imaginary as they are! Is this perhaps a subtle "put-down" of the others, a reminder to them that he's in charge and that their opinions count for nothing, or what? pitbulllady |

![]() If he were to refer to a fancharacter I made as "Master Leonardo" or "Master Alphonzo," that would be good.
![]() If I were to come to Foster's, he would refer to me as "Master James." But in my fanfictions, he would refer to me as "Master JRuff." According to PBL's last post, I should ask why he refers to most of the female characters in the show by the title, "Miss" so and so. But still, I think Mr. H is quite okay for a rabbit with a good sense of humor. |

![]() I think he's just being overly formal. It's his style, nothing more.

![]() I liked him in "Big Cheese". His sarcasm to Cheese was so cruel it was funny. I mean Cheese is basically a 4 year old & he's so mean.

![]() I think he's just being overly formal and pompous and.... well, Herrimanlike. "Master" sounds more formal and archaic and stuffy and old than "Mister", so perhaps that's why they use it.

![]() I agree, that's all it is. I don't hear a put-down in his tone at all.
