Did you draw the comic strip **Odd Bodkins**? I am “Radar” O’Reilly. (Real first name varies depending on source.) Congrats Prof! I hadn’t seen a non-Real person in this game for quite a while, so I had to give that a shot. I had a bit of a dilemma with the question, “First appear since 1964?” since it wasn’t entirely clear if that meant within canon or not and the answers were different, but I thought the most likely intent of the question was publication date. A pilot that aired once to little attention, “W_A_L_T_E\*R” starred Radar as the protagonist, so I sort of waffled on #5. ---
