Significant Anagram/Newspaper Comics

Aldo Kelrast, a former minor character from Mary Worth, was something of a stalker of the title character.
In one strip for Bloom County, Opus find Milo, Binkley, and Hodge Podge playing a game of anagrams to determine their future, and they give an anagram of Milo's name (Limo) as an example.
