Last I saw of Uncle Elvis, he was being castigated by John Byrne for using
"Uncle Elvis" as a name.

The last I knew, "Uncle" Elvis Orten was working in a comics shop in
Connecticut. Still has letters printed occasionally, but has also used
the monicker "Daddy Elvis", as I believe he may be married and has at
least one child.

He dared to sign his letters "Uncle Elvis" instead of "Elvis Orton".
Byrne found it offensive. Indeed, Byrne at first seemed to refuse to
believe that "Elvis" could be an actual living person's name...

Vigilante and everybody else would get really pissed off especially as his
letters were really long?

T. M. Maple (The Mad Maple) was one of the most prolific writers of LOC
(letters of comment) in the history of comics. In his day, he had more
fanletters published in comics than any of his contemporary
letterhacks, such as Kent Phenis and Dale Coe. His commentary was
consistently interesting and typically offered construtive criticism
for the creators. He died in 1994 and is missed by many who read
comics in the 1970s and 1980s.
