Correct on all 3 IQs > [@SCAdian](#): > > Sergio Aragonés draws the cartoons that appear in the margins of _Mad_ magazine. (I came thaaaaat close to using him for this game, but had second thoughts.) > Scott McCloud, AKA “Space Angel,” was the star of the '60s cartoon series of that name. > Antonio Prohias is another _Mad_ artist; he draws “Spy vs Spy.” > Cabeza de Vaca, one of the survivors of a disastrous 16th-century Spanish expedition to Florida, walked from there to Mexico - took him eight years. Then I know none of them, I was thinking of a different Scott McCloud, the one who wrote Understanding Comics. ---

Not Jackie Kennedy. Not Jane Austen. **J**. 1. Real 2. Dead 3. Female 4. J is initial of first name 5. Died after 1900 6. American 7. Died before 1950 8. Not best known for the Arts 9. From east of the Mississippi 10. Not known for politics/business This one’s tricky - she doesn’t really fit into one of the standard categories. I think so far “business” comes closest to the target. I’ve combined Prof P’s DQ into DQ8 to make room for another one. ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > “Mommie Dearest” was Joan Crawford, but I don’t remember her daughter’s name, so DQ. Actually, I realized too late that I wrote the question wrongly–it is looking for the wrong person. Put it down to an extra cocktail before dinner. At any rate, no DQ for me. FTR, the author of “Mommie Dearest” was Christina Crawford. ---
