[SCAdian]

Aargh.

[SCAdian]

Let’s simplify a bit.

A fictional^DQ3 male² originally from prose fiction⁵ written 1801¹³-1899⁶ by an American⁸ male¹⁶, though his story has been used in several movies¹⁵. Only name⁴ starts with Y, but not in the range Ya-Ye¹⁴. Neither human⁷ nor a real animal⁹. A supernatural creature, in a way¹², but not necessarily anthropomorphic¹⁹ and not from a fairy tale¹⁸. Not necessarily either a “good guy” or a “bad guy”¹⁷.

[kitap]

DQs:

1. Name begins with Yj- Yo?

My last DQ is up for grabs.

Less than two hours to go. I certainly don’t have any idea.

[kitap]

I suppose Yooper is the wrong answer.

i am stumped.

[SCAdian]

All I can come up with is Yogi Bear, Yogi Berra, Count Yorga, or Yossarian.

@SCAdian

IQ1: Were you awarded the Medal of Honor for your exploits in France during WW I?
IQ2: Were you a pipe-smoking mother in a 20th-century comic strip?
IQ3: Did you play a WAAF junior officer in Battle of Britain?

And I’m still kicking myself for not using Michael York (York x3!) for my IQ2 there…

[knoodler]

I have Yoma and Yokai; these are eastern/Asian creatures (and denied by DQ.22).

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

All I can come up with is Yowper, but I’m not even sure what story he’s from.
