Go to [Jeopardy’s Winners Circle](http://www.jeopardy.com/beacontestant/winnerscircle/) for a picture and video of Glenn Sullivan from Lexington, VA who was a contestant on and around November 18, 2011. There’s a cartoon character that could have been modeled on him and I can’t remember the character or the show it’s from. Any help? ---

Yogi Bear? ---

He looks a little bit like a Family Guy drawing. (or Craig Ferguson’s brother) ---

Yeah I thought Family Guy too. Maybe even [Quagmire](http://cdn0.hark.com/images/000/007/648/7648/original.jpg) without the chin. ---

Those are all close to what I’ve been seeing in my mind’s eye, but there’s another one I’m sure I’ve seen that’s even closer. I have this feeling it’s one of those meme faces that’s been around a while. Is there a Mario Bros. figure like that? ETA: links to pictures would be a great help if you think of somebody close. ---

Yeah, there’s another cartoon character that’s even closer, but I can’t think of who it is. Hanna Barbera? 1960s? He sort of looks like adult Bam Bam but that’s not it. ---

Still photo reminds me a bit of [Professor Utonium](http://www.sydlexia.com/blogstuff/cnutonium.jpg)? Even better, the father from Dennis the Menace, [cartoon](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_14J2dEsfIG0/S9HnZlOI5QI/AAAAAAAADvU/V_e9ZfpyR-g/s1600/Dennis_The_Menace+4-19-10.gif) or [live action](http://sharetv.org/shows/dennis_the_menace_1959/cast/henry_mitchell). ---

Okay. I know before showing this that it’s not the one I’m thinking of, but if you go to picture #17 at [The Faces Behind the voices of Cartoon Characters](http://blog.asiantown.net/-/1508/the-faces-behind-the-voices-of-cartoon-characters.aspx) and see how Jonathan Katz as Dr. Katz has been done as artwork, perhaps you can see the sort of facial transformation I’m seeing in our _Jeopardy!_ guy. If I could just make that connection! :dubious: ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Good guess but I don’t think that’s it. I’m really betting that it’s from the 60s. I was sensing a Hanna Barbera sort of thing myself, but every character I have thought to Google has been too far afield. I’m beginning to wonder if maybe the cartoon figure I’m visualizing may be from a commercial or a print ad or something along those lines. That cause any shifts in your mind perhaps? ---

I don’t know about a cartoon character, but the first reaction I had was Jerry Lewis. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > I don’t know about a cartoon character, but the first reaction I had was Jerry Lewis. I can see a little of that, too. In my mind the missing image is still, not animated, and in 3/4 view (as opposed to full face or profile). And most likely there would be a caption under the image along the lines of those demotivational things.
