As someone who enjoys the adventures of The Tick, I can tell you it’s a lot of fun reading about made-up stupid people. For one thing, characters with a head full of rainbows and Cheez Whiz (known to some nerds as ‘the CloudCuckooLander’) tend to be happier, and if done right, their goofy mindset can brighten a dull day. With Deadpool’s movies making a skrabillion dollars, it’s hard to argue that there’s great stories that can be told when your main character is a little bit nuts, and the original Dodo Bird cartoons are (in my mind) the best animated short features in the history of the world, leading us to today’s marmalade query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wants to stress the word “FICTIONAL”, as there are more than enough places for name-calling of real folk online already, asking: Which of the many fictional CloudCuckooLander folk in fiction is the most entertaining big ol’ dorkis in your eyes?
