> [@tdn](#): > > Neither Glenn Beck nor Elliot Gould is a cartoon. Didn’t know it had to be a cartoon. In that case he reminds me of [Deputy Dawg](http://www.jrj-socrates.com/Cartoon%20Pics/Misc/Deputy%20Dawg/Deputy_Dawg_300.gif)! Yeah, he’s not a cartoon human, but he’s an anthropomorphised dog. If you insist on a cartoon human consider Luann’s brother Brad whose third from the right in [this cartoon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LuannChristmas2001.png). ---

Perhaps you should contact Glenn Sullivan, and ask him who people tells him he reminds them of. ---

> [@voguevixen](#): > > I’ve never seen a picture of a young Rodney Dangerfield, but he looks like a young Rodney Dangerfield to me. Especially the way he looks like he’s sort of talking out of the side of his mouth. Just to follow your lead I Googled Rodney and didn’t find any really young pictures of him and the ones that were there didn’t come close to the Glenn shot. But thanks for the idea. > [@6ImpossibleThingsB4Breakfast](#): > > Glenn Sullivan looks likes [Shaun Micallef](http://booktopiabooks.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/shaun-micallef_story.jpg?w=468) In the eyes, you’re right.

It might turn out not to be a cartoon, but if it is a cartoon it’s going to be more like the _Futurama_ or _Family Guy_ types. > [@NoClueBoy](#): > > Something from James Thurber maybe?

That has great possibilities for bridging the Cartoon-Human gap. The only real issue I’m having with those “animations” is that my image has very little, if any, movement to it. It may not be a true “still” but it’s more like an icon or stationary “bug” in whatever setting it may be in. However, all that said, this is the closest yet in capturing the “feel” of what’s stuck in my mind! Good try! ---

> [@tdn](#): > > I don’t remember it as a group drawing. Nor do I. The only other component of my “mystery guy” image is that there may be a dog (or other critter) featured alongside him. I almost want the dog to have a Mr. Peabody appearance, and it may even speak! Picture, if you can, [Mr. Peabody](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfiRANe5Fj8&feature=related) alongside a cartoonized Glenn Sullivan. That’s what’s stuck in my head! And the part I’m most convinced about is that this “mystery image” is relatively recent. Not as old as _Rocky and Bullwinkle_ by a long shot. Maybe five years old, but not 20. ---

He sort of looks like a cross between Adam Arkin and [Matthew Lesko](http://www.booksbylesko.com/images/matthew-Lesko.jpg), but I can’t think of any cartoon characters like that. ---

I’m very familiar with Adam Arkin from the season of _Sons of Anarchy_ where he was a dominant character. I have looked at every image in that Google set and none of them is close enough to Glenn Sullivan to have been a trigger for me. Good possibility that I appreciate your trying on. Thanks! ---
