Of course, Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, the animators who created that 1930s Bosko cartoon, may not have been thinking about drunkenness, or woods, or the schism between city & country folks when they named that cartoon character "Bosko".

And inspite of the fact that the Bosko cartoon character is without doubt a minstrelized caricature of a Black boy (or a Black man), the creators of that cartoon may not have been thinking anything at all about race when they gave that character the name "Bosko".

In any event, unless there is some documentation on this subject from those animators, we'll will never really know why they chose the name "Bosko" for that cartoon character.
