Cool. Is there an answer key somewhere? Because I’m not nearly geeky enough to know more than a dozen or so.

Was the character original to _The Brak Show_, or was he also from _Space Ghost_? And if so, what was his name on _Space Ghost_?

The original version (and the one shown) is from [Robotman and Friends](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLu9NvldAaM). When drawn for the comic strip, he lost the heart on the chest and looks a little different.

I don’t know if it has a name, but #95 is holding a [potato](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SAbJjktk7E) in its hand.

I believe No. 51 is Zeta from “The Zeta Project,” a spin-off from “Batman Beyond.”

No. 160 is one of those little critters that scurried through the corridors of the Death Star.

No. 180 is from Wall-E.

Isn’t No. 119 from the Hitchhiker’s Guide movie?

#103 isn’t 7-Zark-7, it’s IQ-9 from _Star Blazers_.

I think 7-Zark-7 might be #151.

On the righthand middle, who is the red guy in the hood? I recognise most of the other characters, if I don’t know all their names.

By the way, dunno how well known it is, but the title is a pun on the fact that Where’s Waldo? is known as Where’s Wally? in Britain, Ireland and elsewhere.

That’s Peace, from the movie _Wizards_. You can use the link in **GuanoLad** ’s post, and the lists I’ve been posting, to identify most of them.
