Alright, next left turn: have you ever been compared to a cartoon character because of physical or personality reasons?
Towards the end of middle school, this one guy in my class started calling me Doug as in Doug Funny from the cartoon Doug. I don't think he meant it in a derogatory way. The name spread quickly though. The guy who dubbed me, myself and two other guys formed a band to perform for the 8th grade talent show. One of the names we kicked around was The Artists fomerly known as Doug. In high school, I ran for senior class president and used an image I found of Doug playing the guitar as my pin. I too play guitar.
Anyway, that is my story. Many others in many different places have made the Doug connection, but it was this guy in middle school who was the first.
