Since You’re going to be stuck with The Sunday Comic for a long time (it’s a project I have been working on for donkeys years) I thought it only right to supply you with a little background stuff and a chance to get to know the different characters a little better. So here’s a new series that will take care of that – Ted
Back in the times Moxie’s was a right fashionable Oslo West End café run by the current owner Laura’s grand-aunt Constance Aulalie "Moxie" Simensbraathen Sigvatson the only cold alcohol free beverage for sale in the establishment was Moxie which had given Aulalie Constance her nickname. She had in fact in her youth been over in the States and there fallen in love with this very refreshing beverage. The result was that when she later started her café she became the only one in Norway to import Moxie.

conversation with the house-ghost Theodora Olava Gregoriussen
Her somewhat exuberant and quite persistently marketing of Moxie eventually gave her the nickname “Moxie” and as she was a woman with a good sense of humour, she thought she might as well call the café Moxie’s. Laura had planned to importing Moxie and keep on making it the café’s on cold alcohol free beverage, but the arrival of the house-ghost Theodora Olava Gregoriusson and the strange suppliers that came in the wake of this arrival put a stop to it.

In Context:
Back in Aulalie Constance "Moxie" Simensbraathen Sigvatson’s days Moxie was a very popular drink in the United States, but Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other sodas with more sugar has gradually taken over most of the market. But it is still in production and still popular in New England and Pennsylvania and was elected Maine’s official beverage May 10, 2005 .
Moxie has also risen in popularity in the southern parts of Maine and Connecticut in recent times as it is an ingredient in several famous drinks. Including "Welfare Mom", which consists of equal parts Diet Moxie and Allan’s Coffee flavoured Brandy, "Country Girl", one part bourbon and two parts Moxie, "Mad Mailman", equal parts Moxie and Jägermeister and "The Vijay” comprising of equal parts Moxie and blended American Whiskey.
