Re DQ5 and DQ10: First appeared in a movie or on TV in or after 1960. However, the show was based on a book published before 1960, and I don’t know if the character’s name in the book was the same.

@De_La_Rue and @Prof.Pepperwinkle each have one remaining DQ, and EH has two. Please ask them by 2359 Eastern tomorrow, Thu 20 Aug.

FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION:

Appeared in a movie or on TV in or after 1960. Also appeared in another medium in or after 1960. However, the movie/TV show was based on a book written before 1960, which I didn’t know about when I first answered the DQs. I cannot find an online copy of the book, so I don’t know if the name used in the book was changed for the other two media.

Waiting on EH. . . .

175

I still have a DQ.

Considered a hero or protagonist in appearances?

176

Previous IQs:

Were you Lincoln’s first SECWAR? - Simon Cameron
Were you his (much better) second? - Edwin Stanton
Were you his only SECSTATE? - Yes, William H. Seward

Hmm. I can’t figure out who this guy is. I yield my two earned DQs, one per player.

177

All I can think of is Shane, but I can’t think that’s right.
