GSG: I would have thought that you would have put something in the "in Memoriam" section about the guy the came up with "the Green Hornet" and "the Pillsbury Doughboy"...
That's "Green Lantern." I did send a link to the CNN web page about it to my college roommate, also a big comic book fan. But I didn't think there would be enough interest at GS to put it here. If anyone's interested, here's the story.
Martin Nodell created the original (1940's) Green Lantern. I grew up with the revised (60's) version. I really feel disappointed that I didn't go to see Gil Kane, the artist of that 60's GL, when he appeared at a comic book convention in Houston. It was a bad ice storm, and I decided in favor of safety. Kane died a couple of years later.
This was popular in the mid to late nineties on PBS here in the states. It started on BBC - I'm almost positive that the main location was a restaurant and the banter on this show was of monumental proportion.
Oh and Tom - or whoever - instead of the sound of the second clue - just say the the first sound with and name the second - and say them together real fast......

It's a picture of Hillary Duff. I presume you can't see the picture at all.
