247

Yes, Baryshnikov and Ballanchine.
The chair was Donna Brazile, now a political commentator for CNN.

I’m stumped as to who this person is. I’ll let someone else use my DQ.

248

Did you write a novel about a killer shark on Cap Cod?

249

I am not Peter Benchley, author of Jaws.

250

An award winning creative artist (as opposed to a performer) in a visual arts medium that’s not film, TV, sculpture, painting, or theater, but is writing, but not novels or scripts.

Dang - I’m just as stumped as Elendil’s Heir.

OK, one more IQ:

Did you step on a poptop and blow out your flipflop?

(If it’s not this guy then I really don’t have a clue.)

251

I am not Jimmy Buffet
HINT:

My opus of work includes children’s books, daily works, and anthologies of my daily works. I ceased creating said primarily known for daily work in the late 80’s, but continued work around the same characters for another two decades. One of my books was recently turned into a movie, which failed somewhat in the theaters. You could say it went Aaack.

252

OK, I think I get it now…

IQ Did you create the characters of Opus the Penguin, Cutter John, Steve Dallas, and Bill the Cat?

253

Yes! I am Berkeley Breathed! Cartoonist of Bloom County, Outland and Opus. I also wrote Mars Needs Moms!, a children’s book, which was adapted into a movie…which did not do well in theaters.

254

Go for it Wargamer!

255

Way to go, Wargamer! I wouldn’t have guessed Berkeley Breathed in a long time, if ever.

256

OK, this MIGHT be a tough one, so I reserve the right to extend the DQs beyond 20. :slight_smile:

(Of course that means someone will get it within the first three posts, no doubt…

The letter is I
