Speaking of comics.... I have one of Vicki from Rose is Rose...
Some people took offense at it..... cause she shows a little too much in the leg department.
Rose is Rose is one of the tamest cartoons on this earth! Someone get bent out of the alter ego's legs???? ACK! I guess they never read the comic strip.
With all that there is to be concerned about in the world, the little pictures that we chose to represent us is a tiny issue.

Hmm, well, I'd prefer a longer skirt, too, but I wouldn't be upset about it.
BTW, thanks, Trish.

the point of the longers skirt would ruin the character. She is the alter ego of a woman who is entirely wholesome but every now and then day dreams about doing something daring.
Rose is rose is on Comics.com

I have been looking around, and have discoverd that I have a very, very boring avatar, although it matches my name.
I may shop around for something more profound or exciting when time permits.

There's been a false story floating around the Internet about actor Lee Marvin and Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo). Both did serve in the Marines. This is from the Truth or Fiction site:
The message says that Lee Marvin appeared on the Tonight Show in the 70's when host Johnny Carson brought up Marvin's record in the Marines. Carson said people may not have known that Marvin fought in Iwo Jima, one of the best known battles of World War II, and was awarded the Navy Cross. Marvin then tells a story of heroism in battle about the bravest man he ever knew who was also awarded the Navy Cross...Bob Keeshan who later became best known as Captain Kangaroo.
Before his death in January, 2004, we checked with Bob Keeshan, who was living in Vermont, and he said he never served at Iwo Jima, was not presented with the Navy Cross and, in fact, never saw combat.
There is no record of Lee Marvin at Iwo Jima or winning the Navy Cross. According to a biography that we have on file at TruthOrFiction.com, Marvin did see a lot of action in the Pacific participating in the invasions at Kwajalein and Eniwetok and was wounded in Saipan, for which he was awarded the Purple Heart.

Also, according to TruthorFiction.com
Fred Rogers, the founder and host of the popular U.S. children's television program Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood never served in the military.
According to his official biography from Family Communications, the producers of his show, Fred Rogers went directly from college into media...
