I've actually always liked it because of Bill and Ted. God. Actually there's a long story about why I settled on it for that character but it's not important. It makes me happy!
And wow, Latin. I had to take Sanskrit, so I thought one dead, seminal language would be enough. It never is though, is it? That looks like great fun!
Also, I'm excited to hear about Jack & Will-- their story I definitely remember discussing (and the drawings!). Research is an excellent beginning and always inspiring-- did you say you were putting them in a more modern (50s?) type setting this time around? It's been too long since we discussed it. :/
