Botticelli

[chuckro]

feiran suggests that it's my turn for a round of Botticelli. Refer to the links and discussions in her posts for rules. I'll be doing "one stump, one direct", the same as her.

The character is fictional.

The letter is D.

For easy reference, details revealed by direct questions:
I am human.
I am male.
I am adult, over the age of 20.
I am from comics.
I am not evil.
I have no extrordinary powers.
I'm not a DC character.
I do not appear in a superhero comic.
I appear in a newspaper comic strip.
I have been in movies, but not in a very long time, and it's certainly not what I'm best known for.

And dushai with the win! Dagwood Bumstead it is.

Are you an assassin with very very bad family problems?

Are you Hiro's old boss?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

I am not Deathstroke. Or Deadshot, for that matter.

You've got me on Hiro's old boss, though. It doesn't seem to be a Snow Crash reference, and I don't watch Heroes (though presumably will at some point).

[bigscary.livejournal.com]

Snow Crash -- You're not Da5id.

Are you from a newspaper strip?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.

[deltagrl.livejournal.com]

Darkwing Duck?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'm human.

Are you a detective?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Do you drive Mr. Wilson crazy?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

I'm not Dennis the Menace. But you're more on the right track than anyone else.

Do you intimidate the hell out of people with your tough-guy act when you may or may not be out of bullets?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

I'm not Dirty Harry.

[dushai.livejournal.com]

Darn I was hoping to get at least one of those... (I think I have to let you have it with "democrat", though I was thinking of Chicago mayor Richard Daley.)

No, I hadn't heard about Anne Rice finding Jesus. Hmm...

I'm allowed to think of non-fictional answers, right? The Wikipedia page seems to think there are no restrictions in indirect mode, but I don't know the house rules. If you clarify and I'm not allowed to ask about real people, I'll strike some of these.

Okay, Mr. Smarty Pants...

We're playing fictional-only mode. My knowledge of actual events is much sketchier, after all. So I'm going to ask you to re-post with only the fictional characters questions.

And just for fun, some "real" people:
Do you whip it good? I'm not Devo.
Are you Arnold Schwartzenegger's twin? I'm not Danny Devito.
Did you build wings for your son only to have him plummet to his death? I'm not Daedalus.
Is there a sword hanging over your head? I'm not Damocles.
Do you mispronounce "nuclear"? I'm not Dubya.
