SMV appears to have been devoured by mice, so – “Firstname Lastname” DQs by 6:00 PM tomorrow (Sun 23 Jun), please!

202

Here’s a freebie: There are well over a dozen books in the series, but I only appeared in two of them.

203

Sloths, actually. My apologies to all y’all.

204

Thinkthinkthink…

205

DQ: Are you Jack Pumpkinhead from the Oz books?

206

I am not.

207

Had to visit the DMV, did you? :smiley:

208

My best guess is Alfred Pennysworth

209

I’m stumped.

210

I am the amazingly absent-mindedProfessor Archimedes Q Porter, and I appeared in the first two books about my son-in-law, John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke.

211

Oh, Jane’s dad. I only remember him from the Disney version, but I do remember him.

212

SMV’s sloths appear to have gotten the rest of the crew, too…
Since the Prof recognises Professor Porter: I am Q.

213

I vaguely remember the character. Good job, SCA.

IQs:

Did you command the Protector?
Did Anthony Hopkins once play you?
Are you perhaps the most famous fictional Cayman Islander?

214

I considered Tarzan, but only remembered “Me Tarzan. You Jane.”

IQ1: Are you the primary protagonist of The Magicians series?
IQ2: Are you aka Star-Lord, leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy?
IQ3: Do you play Cousin Eddie in the National Lampoon Vacation movies?

215

IQs:

  1. Were you a werewolf on *Dark Shadows *?
  2. Did you play a warden in *Chicago *?
  3. Are you the typical American?
216

Nope, never heard of the man. I’ve never read any of the Tarzan novels; but I have ridden past Edgar Rice Burroughs’ house in Oak Park, Illinois.

So. We proceed apace.

IQ1: Have you been played by Desmond Llewelyn, John Cleese, and, most recently, Ben Whishaw?

IQ2: Were you the influential literary critic who published a monumental collection of English poetry?

IQ3: Were you, in your own words, one of the “stately homos of old England”?

217

Yes – I am Quentin Collins.

Let’s see…
EH’s IQ3 was Quarrel, from Dr No.
The Prof’s IQ3 was John Q Public.
SMV’s IQ1 was Q, from the James Bond stories.
No idea on any of the others.
There are books I’ve read. There are books I’ve reread. There are books I’ve reread more than once. Tarzan of the Apes is one of the two books I’ve reread the most often.

218

I couldn’t get past Burroughs’s racism.
Queen Latifah was my #2.

Wow, I’m surprised at that one.

I am R.

219

IQ1. Did your 13-year-old girlfriend kill herself after you committed suicide because you thouight she was dead?
IQ2. Were you a fictional American nobody who succeeded to the throne of the UK?
IQ3. Did your asparagus cause problems in 1944?

220
  1. I am not Romeo Montague.
  2. I am not King Ralph.
  3. Take a DQ.
