@Ignatz, thank you for that point. I also was wondering whether the variant pronunciation (even in a community where that holds for common nouns) would happen in the case of names. I know about it only in the specific context of the soup called pasta fagioli, which in my youth my New York Irish uncle (who had grown up in close contact with the New York Italian community) made a point of explaining to the whole Miami Jewish family. Yes, it has pasta and beans in it.
Nonetheless, I think that final Barney and Clyde does a brilliant job of posing the dilemma!
Now is not the time to get bored reading comics. Now is the time to get excited by going to the polls to vote. Please do.

It’s pronounces “fa-joh-lee.” “Fazool” is Sicilian dialect.
