bogus …

I broke my strategy by opening with “BREAKS”, which turned up a lucky first letter. 
Then Bosco, who appears to be on an eternal summer break himself.

Spoiler

Pretty proud of my third guess there

 

Spoiler

The correct spelling is “cheque” though.  As in “Tough town, I guess I should have got those traveller's cheques” (Guybrush Threepwood, Scabb island)

Spoiler

Which is probably tomorrow’s Mojole.

Spoiler

Followed by “CZECH”

I concur with the second spoiler.

 

Spoiler

I'm guessing Guybrush would say "traveler's cheques" (single l), making him half-American in that moment. Too lazy to check (cheque?) though.

 

Spoiler

Who am I kidding, I have ScummVM right here.

 

Spoiler

I was right! And I'm afraid, you were wrong. Traveler's checks.

 

Spoiler

I still believe in you! Neither Remi nor LucasArts can spell.

I didn’t have scummVM at hand. But I wanted to add a screenshot of that moment and searched for “Guybrush traveler’s cheques”. That seems to be in both Tales of MI and in the full transcript of MI2:

(Admittedly, it is from the special edition, but they must have fixed this typo then)

It’s how the rest of the world spells it. Because it is a French word.

 

Spoiler

… borrowed from English when they could still spell.

Pffft. I fired up the Special Edition to get to the bottom of this mystery, and...

Only then did I notice that the GameFAQs page is a transcription of a YouTube video and I could have just watched it for myself. I feel like I've gone through almost as much effort as the transcriber!

 

And yes, the video does have the same spelling as the screenshot, the GameFAQs guy must have just corrected the spelling. Totally justifiably, of course.

 

I'm just posting this to distract from my failure to solve Mojole in 1.

Spoiler

Or 2.

Or 3.

Spoiler

Yeah, I noticed afterwards that the transcript was full of spelling errors. 

Spoiler

But at least cheque was spelled correctly 😅

Spoiler

I ran scummtr on all versions to double-check and it’s spelled “checks” in all of them. But we all know Ron can’t spell.

Firing up the Special Edition made me notice that I'd missed an easy achievement - making Guybrush huff helium. And getting that showed me something I hadn't realised before - that "there's a monkey in my pocket" has been retconned into the Special Edition as a replacement for the high-pitched song lyrics in the original.

 

So at least Remi and Ron's spelling crimes have led to a brief resurgence in Monkey Island 2 playing.

Dan Pettit? His surname is almost petit, meaning small in French, and mice are small. His name is an anagram of TEPID ANTT, and no wonder his performance as an antt (olde Englishe spelling of ant - those guys love adding extra letters!) is marked by an absence of enthusiasm or conviction when he's not an insect at all, he's a rodent! I could continue the investigation, but I think we've got a pretty open-and-shut case here.

Tim Schafer? His first name is a bit like Tom, the cat from Tom and Jerry. True connoseurs connasurs conneusirs FUCK how do you spell that never mind fans of American animated shorts will know that Jerry is a mouse. But wait, you're saying, if Tim has almost the same name as a cartoon cat, that's kinda the opposite of him being like Jerry? Not so fast! You're only saying that because you're a bit dim. His last name spelt backwards and then slightly rearranged is REFASCH, which sounds exactly like someone starting to say the word REVERSE and then having a stroke. So Tim is the REVERSE of a cat, he's a mouse!

 

I think we've found a new front runner.

Sean Clark? What do you get if you remove all letters from his name except vowels and the letter K, and then change all the vowels into an E unless they're already an E? That's right, EEEK, the sound mice famously make! Hard to argue with that kind of evidence.

Khris Brown? Mice are brown, and an anagram of her first name is Shrik. Shrek the ogre hangs around with a donkey, but Shrik is a legally distinct non-ogre from a parallel dimension who prefers the company of camels. And when she's not hanging around camels, what is Shrik doing? Rescuing mice from the swamp! Pretty obvious connection here, when you think about it.

@Huz, I bet your posts would be even funnier if I remembered what yesterday’s solution text was. 
 

Spoiler

The solution was EYES. But I don’t see how that led you on this mouse quest.

 

by the way, if you add an R to eyes, you get the name of a detective in Thimbleweed Park, made by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. And that game had lots of red eyes. Plus you played it using a mouse.

Yeah, I got nothing.
