No, at least not that I know of (there may be a graphic novel adaptation, I don’t know). Otherwise this would be in my Superheroes community. Hey, this gives me an idea…

Does he have a special characteristic, say…physical characteristic that sets him apart?

Can he fly? Would his physical differences be considered disabling? Is his story set in the 20th century? Does he have kids?

I doubt Oprah would spotlight this book (but I don’t watch Oprah, so I wouldn’t really know).
It is a classic book, yes.
It’s not really a comedy, nor a tragedy. Some people can probably argue that it is a comedy, or it is a tragedy, but I don’t buy into that. Depends on definitions, I guess.

They were part of a book series made by Scholastic. The Animorphs series was really popular, my brother had a book set! The stories went that these teenagers morphed into different animals and different bugs etc. and took on different characteristics. Sort of a weird concept, but the book covers look pretty cool!

Does this mean I get to think of the next one?
Okay I’ve got one in mind already! I’ll give you some hints to get going:
- recurring character in many books by the author
- nonhuman, but often tries to do human-like things
- The series of books was started in the 1980s and continues on to this day!

1908s…whoa..and my first guess was going to be the Hardy Boys right before I got to clue number two!

Physical representation of a process or idea.. would I be on the right track to think of something like the wind or a process such as transitioning from Earth to Heaven for example?

The bear is amused :)
So there is this character – he hangs out with his friends and wastes all his time doing almost nothing | One of his friends has a dog, the other has a heart condition | Our character gets angry at a certain Jesus |
Let’s see how long this one taketh!

no….he’s an adult – in the middle age or so
and it’s not a coming of age story
the story is a collage of nihilism, laziness, Vietnam, etc :D

Ah…no; Forrest Gump ran, ran and ran. So he’s not lazy.
Hint: This character is fat, sports a french bread and likes a drink made of vodka and kaluha.
Sounds familiar?

Ok, here goes -
This is a character from a book (or a series of books)
Your hint is: He’s a big man (huge, actually) and has a liking for strange animals

That was fast, I missed out on that one.
If anyone picks a new character, how about starting a new thread? This one is getting really long and it a while to load for some reason when you get into it. Just a thought. It’s a fun game though!

Bilbo Baggins could be the “would be writer” No clues on the ex-actor though.
Just a slight hint, please :)

Yeah – it’s a good comedy with great acting. The story is realistic too :)
I guess it’s time someone else posted a question. Any takers? Lucyinthesky? Maymay? oLahav?
