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.

...I have no idea. Given that none of the main characters of The Simpsons or Futurama start with a D, consider me stumped.

Ah, I tricked you with wording! I meant his favorite show, not his favorite of the ones he makes :)

So, what you're saying is, you're not The Doctor? (hee, I thought the icon would give me away! Matt Groening has said that he grew up watching Doctor Who and there's lots of tributes to it in Futurama).

Are you male?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Are you either one of two hotties with the same name, resigned to flashing your stuff at the bottom of the ocean?

I'm not...Dolphin?

Who's Dolphin?

White-haired DC character who breathes water and wears very little clothing. On-again, off-again girlfriend of both Aquaman and Tempest. I believe there was a Golden Age character who used the same name, hence it fitting the clue.

Then I have to give it to you.

Is your disguise more well known than your face even though everyone knows who you are?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

I'm not Doctor Doom.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Very well done! You are very good at this.

Hmm, let's see. Are you Rufus' former gym teacher and future nemesis?

...ouch. I'm not Reeve, Scarlet or Palmer, but they don't make sense anyway. Go ahead.

You're not De Nomolos?

Are you a male?

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am.
