Was I the only kid who thought the "D" in "Disney" was some kind of weird backwards "G"?

Oh, totally. In fact, it's very hard for me to un-see that.

Yes, I did.

And to this day I could never find out why they drew the D like that.

^It's probably the way Walt Disney signed his name...

No, but I thought the y was a p for the longest time.

No, never. It was always a loopy D to me.

That might have something to do with the US way of writing G. I learnt a variant. You guys have basically a C with an inward-facing tail; I learnt a C with a dropping tail.

No, I always read that as "Disney" so see a "D". :D

I do see the backwards G btw

I thought the thread title was some new weird anime coming out.

Yeah, I was always confused as to why we didn't call it "Gisney"
