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.

Does the mouth in your hand speak to you?
Are you fond of running up and down stadium steps?

...nope, I got nothing.

Are you and your dog trapped in mindless corporate hell?
Are you and your master trapped in mindless corporate hell?
I am neither Dilbert nor Dogbert.

Are you one of only two male black widows?
Have you ever flown off with a plucky youngster to his magical home?
Are you a dashing duelist with a dog for a steed?

Okay, fine, five direct questions. How many of these were from anime I've never seen?

Let's see. In order: Vampire Hunter D, Desmond (from Lost), Daemon Sadi (from a book, actually), Wendy Darling, and Sir Didymous (Labyrinth). So, only one. :)

Questions:
Are you male?
Are you human?
Are you from comics?
Are you evil?
Do you have extranormal powers?

I see Dayle already asked if you were male. Instead, is your appearance markedly unusual for your species?

You are such a cheater! You can't use Wendy Darling! The rules are the name she is best known by, and she is best known by WENDY.

Cheater! But, seeing as I asked "male" already, I suppose you can still ask the other four questions. Poo. Cheaters shouldn't prosper!

I originally made the rule of last-name *or* name best known by. But that got totally blown out of the water later with first names anyway. Anyway, I think Wendy Darling is a perfectly reasonable submission. :P

Well you're wrong. That's really making it stupid. This is how you weaseled out of getting anyone to figure out who you were yesterday.

She's Wendy, god-fucking-damnit. Remind me to hit you when I see you next.

I am male.
I am human.
I am from comics.
I am not evil.
I have no extrordinary powers.

And seriously, Wendy Darling? That's like using Dorothy Gail for "G". Technically legal, but out of the spirit of things.

As I said, I was going by the rules set down yesterday, when I told Michelle I was going by last names or best known names. That made Wendy perfectly valid.

But, for the record, I did think most people would solve that clue from the situation first, then apply the last name.
