L.

- first name begins with L
- a main character
- not originally from movies and/or TV
- created after 1950
- American creator

- unclear, but apparently not an American character
- the fiction the character appears in is somewhat realistic (no supernatural but several fantastic elements)

- created before 1969

Right. Please ask all earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by noon Mon. EST.
So from a book or books in the 1960’s. May not be human. Possibly from children’s lit.
Time to start thinking.
Well, possibly a short story, but I think a novel is more likely. Also adapted into a TV cartoon.
Would prose fiction discount comic books?
I would say ‘yes’.
Neither comics nor plays are considered to be prose.
I’m pretty stumped.
I as well. Either I’ll kick myself for it being so obvious or it’ll be somebody I’ve never heard of.
EDIT: never mind
Well, yes, as a dad I know of Lowly Worm. Great choice, EH!
Aw HELL, not that obvious but I have heard of the character. Lowly Worm! With the apple car!
It completely flew below my radar.
Well, he is very low…

I got a couple of the books for my kids, but hadn’t realised there was a TV show.
