**Lear’s Fool:** John Constantine, Swamp Thing #37, Moore/Totleblen **Koffing:** Is that Cassandra Nova talking to the Beast? **Ukelele Ike’s** choices are killing me. Hey, if they’re from Morrison’s THE FILTH, I tried issue #1 and it didn’t take. ---

Nah, the best Jhiaxus quote has to be his end-of-the-world tirade from _TF:G2_ #12. “YOU–!” 😃 I’d offer another quote, but without my comics here at work, I can’t recall anything with enough accuracy for the job… ☹ ---

Am I right? Well, if so, I’ll throw another one out there - “Woman, have you not foreseen that you are to marry this tree?” ---

**Krokodil** ’s quote must be from Rebis in the Morrison-era Doom Patrol (does that really qualify as a mainstream DC book?), though I don’t know which other DP member is responding. Crazy Jane, perhaps? My turn: “After all, who doesn’t like roses?” ---

I do, Ike (they’re my dad’s 🙂 ) I don’t know your quotes, though. I will however throw this one into the mix (double points if you get this): “Me too, I ate one sour too.” More clues forthcoming if requested. ---

Ahhhh, that one’s easy. Fat Freddy, the chubbiest of the Fabulous Furry Freak Bros., after trying desperately to remember a new telephone number for Dealer McDope. Freewheelin’ Franklin had just responded to Phineas’s query about who had eaten all the pickles he’d bought. Dint even have to look that one up. ---

Full points… and I thought that was tough! Nice to meet a fellow freak fan on the boards… I thought I was the only one! OK, here are some tougher ones (I may be paraphrasing these slightly): “Rub off the black crap to see if you’ve won.” “I’m still just plain old mom to the kids.” “I hate to break up this heartwarming scene, but there’s an army of cops coming.” Again, clues will be forthcoming if requested. Also, if you have any obscure freak-o-rama stuff to test me with then go ahead. ---

Let’s see…I know the middle one, it’s Missus Yahootie after she was struck in the head by Meatball. From an early issue of ZAP Comix, either No. 0 or No. 1, back when it was entirely Crumb’s work. The other two are darn familiar, though…give me time to reflect.
