> [@Some\_Call\_Me.Tim](#): > > IQ3: Did you join the New Mutants at about same time as Doug Ramsey? Warlock. Man, not a comic book character? There goes some brainstorming. Is it permissible to ask for clarification as to what definition was used for ‘literature’ when answering DQ9? I keep having other people ninja my DQs, I was going to ask about audio/lyrics upon a no to comic books… DQ: is the ‘last name’ from DQ7 in common current use as a last name in the US? IQ1: Are you an antagonist to the Mario Brothers? …and to flush out more of my comic book W queue: IQ2: Are you a male member of the Legion of Super Heroes? IQ3: Are you a female member of the Legion of Super Heroes? ---

Nope. Helps avoid duplication. BTW, what’s the difference between appearing in a comic book vs. comic strip? ---

A comic strip is a specific format, used in newspaper syndication. Comic book is much more general, and would include most of the superhero questions we’ve been trying out. Another rules question: If you have three IQs pending, can you withdraw one in order to make room on your queue for a new IQ? ---

Printed fiction (novels, short stories, &c) and poetry. > [@Some\_Call\_Me.Tim](#): > > A comic strip is a specific format, used in newspaper syndication. Comic book is much more general, and would include most of the superhero questions we’ve been trying out. Yes. Comic strips are what you find in newspapers - _Garfield_, _Mary Worth_, _For Better or Worse_, &c, including single-panel strips like _The Family Circus_. Some strips appear in magazines (_Pee-Wee Harris_ in _Boy’s Life_, for instance). Most webcomics use the same format, but I don’t think I would include them in the same category. Comc books are separate publications, such as those by Marvel, DC, Gold Key, &c. A lot of characters appear in both strips and comic books; I would group them by their original form of publication. > [@](#): > > Another rules question: If you have three IQs pending, can you withdraw one in order to make room on your queue for a new IQ? I believe that’s been done a couple of times during the ~two years I’ve been playing. ---
