Yojo

126

How breathtakingly obscure!
Yes, I have heard of Yojo.

127

Not me; I only read Richard Armour’sversion of Moby Dick and Yojo isn’t mentioned.

128

I read the Classics Illustrated version 60 years ago, and have no idea if Yojo was mentioned.

129

The Internet Archive has the Classics Illustrated version online. Yojo isn’t mentioned.

I didn’t read the book either. I did read the precis in Masterpieces Digest years back.

138

Hmm. Actors take over for characters as well as for other actors, so I think my answer about Woody on Cheers is correct. I won’t give you that DQ unless a majority of people here think otherwise. What say you, O fellow Botticelli players?

W.

  1. real
  2. male
139

If he’d asked who succeeded Nicholas Colasanto on Cheers, you’d be right. But since he asked about the character, SunUp’s right.

(Assuming SunUp uses “he/him”.)

DQs:

  1. Living?
  2. Known for the Arts?
