Ya gotta keep the history alive! 👍 "Beat" is such a great word, as it relates to music as well as being tired or down, like an underdog.

With a name like The Jizzler... 🤔

Ernie disliked the Beats - he usually drew them very negatively -lazy, sloppy, etc.. This, though, is a fine portrait of beat Sluggo! "Beatnik" was often a derogatory term - they called themselves Beats (from "beatific") but Beatnik was Beat plus "nik," implying the Beats were Commies.

Hard to say where "hep" came from exactly. Definitely jazz slang 1920s, to describe someone who was informed, in the know, and up to date. In the 50s, it became "hip," so if you used the word "hep," you were old! Didja know that the word "jazz" likely came from "jism?" (Okay, I'm giggling now...)

"Hep" came first, then "hip." They mean the same thing. A "hepcat" is a cool dude. Hep was jazz slang in the 20s.
