I don't think I have ever heard anyone say his name out loud, so I suspect I currently mispronounce it. When it comes to those things, I am severely out of touch. My nephew just starting doing his own comic book and has been attending conventions over the last two years and he is startlingly up to date on all the latest gossip and name pronunciations.

I mispronounced "Clowes" for years before I heard someone say it.....

Daniel Clowes' name is pronounced as k-l-o-w-z. It is not pronounced like "clothes" or "close" (with a voiceless S).
I had to look it up. Now I know. No longer do I wallow in ignorance.

Yup, I had been pronouncing it like "close"/"clothes."
