I regret to say I never read any Rabelais either in English or French, so I’m feeling like there’s a hole in my education. I also never realized that gargantuan came from the character of Gargantua. I’m racking my brain for other characters in literature or politics whose names became commonplace adjectives, but no dice other than the possible modern day example you mention and that I hope will not stick. The pizza looks yummy and inspires me to want to make one myself, but I will stick to my trusty iPhone settings to improve the background. It is a lot easier and pretty effective. Portrait mode allows you to blur the background.
With reference to the last panel of ELF, I myself, prefer Bushells Coffee and Chickory Essence, mixed with cold milk and vanilla ice cream, a summer-time refreshing drink.

Blurring the background? I can show you how to do that too!

I've long known of chicory as a substitute/addendum to coffee but have never tasted it. Perhaps I need to seek some out!
