2. In what year did Popeye make his comic strip debut?

From Quiz Popeye Comic Strips

Answer: 1929

From Quiz A Quiz of "Questionable Content"

Answer: Worry Hat

In Marten's youth, his mother used to give him the Worry Hat to help him calm down whenever he was upset or had nightmares. A few strips later, while happily singing and drying dishes, Hannelore hits her head on an open cabinet door and bleeds on the hat, which she feels very badly about.

4. The Order of the Stick's leader is the intelligent and battle-hardened Roy Greenhilt, a fighter who wields his grandfather's eponymous greatsword. What is his quest?

From Quiz Meet "The Order of the Stick"!

Answer: To destroy the evil lich Xykon.

Roy inherited his father Eugene's blood oath of vengeance against Xykon, who had slain Eugene's mentor. However, since Xykon is bent on unleashing an extremely destructive creature known as the Snarl, Roy's quest is now no less than protecting the universe itself.

5. What service did Mary Worth pride herself on giving to her friends, neighbors, acquaintances, enemies, strangers, or just about anybody she encounters?

From Quiz Mary Worth

Answer: Advice

Mary loved to give advice whether or not it was requested or desired. She advised on marital problems, drug and alcohol addiction, parental issues, identity theft, teen pregnancy, financial problems, and advice itself. In a 2007 story line, a 90-year old "competitor" moved into her complex and started giving advice. Mary was jealous of Ella Byrd, but in the end they became friends and decided there was room for both to give advice. Of course, Ella eventually left and Mary had the strip to herself again.

6. How did Mandrake acquire his magical powers?

From Quiz Mandrake the Magician

Answer: At the college of magic.

In the comic series, Mandrake studied magic at the 'Collegium Magikos', located in a cave somewhere in the Himalaya Mountains. His teacher was Theron, an expert at magic. Theron had a magic crystal which had made him ageless. Mandrake was his favourite pupil and thus Mandrake acquired his hypnotic powers. In one of the later comics, it is revealed that Theron is also Mandrake's father. (No. 142, 1969, 'The College of Magic') Mandrake series made its first appearance on 11 June 1934 as a syndicated comic series published by King Features Syndicate.

7. The central character is Ernie. What is Ernie's last name?

From Quiz "The Piranha Club", part 1

Answer: Floyd

The strip was originally called "Ernie". As the other characters grew in popularity, Grace renamed it. Poor ol' Ernie is the fall guy for the other characters' schemes.

8. "Oor Wullie" is something of an icon to Scottish people the world over, but what do the words really mean?

From Quiz "Oor Wullie" - Scotland's Favourite Boy

Answer: our William

Although known mainly by his shortened name, Wullie was sometimes called William, especially by his schoolteachers and some of the girls in his class. In one sketch he left his schoolbag at home, so his teacher said "No books William? You'll just have to share with Primrose". His friends were very amused at this, and started calling him Wilhemina!

9. Pete Throb, aka Pimply Pete, was often courting the affections of the Lovely Lucy (despite her digs about his giant zit), but he finally found love with somebody else. What was her name?

From Quiz Remember the "Oink!" Comic? - Part 2

Answer: Susie

Susie and Pete were happy together for a while, until Pete bribed the "Oink!" artist to draw him without his pimples, and then he started being unkind to all his zitty friends and insisting Susie snog whether she wanted to or not. Sadly, the artist re-introduced Pete's pimple (after he found he couldn't use "Oink!" currency in the real world). Susie yelled at Pete immediately after that "Pus off, zithead!" (presumably ance-izing better-known foul language...) and that was that.

10. Which character was the boss/editor of "Oink!"

From Quiz Remember the "Oink!" Comic?

Answer: Uncle Pigg

Uncle Pigg's staff (with the exception of the "Plops" - the animated small dung heaps who were the office assistants) were all pigs. I think this comic was created by vegetarians, it often made butchers out to be sadists and monsters, not to mention numerous "hints" that pigs, cows and sheep were living beings too.

11. One of the main characters in this strip is a sweet little dog named Earl. Who is his owner?

From Quiz "Mutts" Comic Strip

At first Pig just put on two normal oven mitts until Rat told him that oven mitts would only protect his hands, but Pig is so stupid that he decided to put on a giant oven mitt to protect his whole body.
