OK, that completes the DQ round. Everyone who earned a DQ may now ask a “Are you Firstname Lastname?” question.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

426

Discussing: strips that may be involved include Boondocks, For Better or For Worse, Motley’s Crew, Kudzu, Cathy, Bloom County and Outland. There are probably others. I’m not coming up with a candidate.

427

Hint: He’s not from any of those strips.

428

What other strips qualify…
Calvin and Hobbes?

Life in Hell?

Cathy?

429

Crock?

Wordsmith?

430

Life in Hell, eh?

DQ: Are you Little Bongo?

431

I am not.

To move this along, let’s say all Firstname Lastname questions are to be posted in the next 24 hours. Thanks!

432

I got nothing. Sorry.

433

Pass.

434

The character is indeed from Calvin and Hobbes; it’s Calvin’s hard-boiled noir detective alter ego,

Tracer Bullet



I’ll start the next round tomorrow in a March thread.

435

Okay, very good choice, O son of Arathorn!
