I don’t know this either, so you’ve earned two DQs. Edit: Ok, maybe that was a DQ, in which case I guess I may cheat because it is for your benefit. I have looked it up and can now confidently answer that none of my characters spent any time in Slumberland (with a capital S, of course). 1. Real 2. Male 3. American 4. Dead 5. Known for accomplishments in the arts 6. Known for accomplishments in the visual arts 7. Not known for photography 8. Not known for painting 9. Not known for work in movie business 10. Not a sculptor 11. Born in the twentieth century 12. Slightly cutting-edge 13. Last name begins with “M” 14. Not known for acting 15. Alive in 1950 16. My art involved drawing 17. I drew a comic strip that appeared in newspapers 18. I did not draw comic books or graphic novels 19. Correct, proper, formal first name begins with N-Z 20. My work was serio-humorous 21. Nothing to do with Slumberland ---
