IQ: Are you Emmett Kelly’s tramp clown persona?

42

I can picture him, but I’m drawing a blank on the name. Not him. Take a DQ

43

When I say “more or less considered a good guy”, it is in the sense of not a villain or antagonist. He’s certainly not a role model, but didn’t do anything bad out of malice or evil motives.

Associated with NYC?

Two DQs reserved.

45

That was Weary Willie.

IQs:

  1. Were you a kind old rabbit who was occasionally threatened by the Skeezix?
  2. Are you a penguin acquaintance of Woody Woodpecker?
