Okay, well, nobody seems interested in pursuing this, so the answer is:

All three are varieties of tomatoes. (I've seen a picture of the Ultra Boy tomato and it's the same colour as his shirt, and the green stem-leaf part is a reasonable stand-in for the green dragon logo. I can't help but think that it was intentional on the part of the tomato people, or, depending on when the variety was isolated, on the part of the Legion artist.)

Next:

Driver's Seat by Sniff 'n the Tears
Pink Cadillac by Bruce Springsteen
Little Red Corvette by Prince

(and, no, it's not that they're car songs. There's something else.)

No, but you're on the right track with the romantic angle.

Another hint: I came across this triad while researching cartoon voice actors.

Bingo.

Ms. Daily (these days a voice actress) was one of my childhood crushes after I saw her in Valley Girl and Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Apparently others felt the same as, in addition to the three listed above, she also dated Nick Cage and Andrew Dice Clay. She is nothing if not... um... eclectic in her tastes.

You're up next, He Who.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winnah!

Koenig was 31 when he started playing the 22-year-old Ensign Chekov on "Star Trek" in 1967.

Burghoff was 29-36 when he played the 19-20 (or so) Radar O'Reilly during the "M*A*S*H" TV series from 1972-79. (Of course, Burghoff also played Radar in the 1970 movie, when the actor was a mere 27).

Pallilo was 26 when he started playing the high school-aged Arnold Horshack in "Welcome Back, Kotter," in 1975.

Take it away, AFOB!

Well that was hard, wasn't it?

Daisy May Moses, better known as Granny on The Beverly Hillbillies , who had the still out by the cement pond; The Baldwin Sisters from The Waltons who made their "Recipe" for medicinal purposes only, and Hawkeye and BJ of M*A*S*H who had their own still in the "swamp."

Take it Kent.

Taking a guess (expecting it to be wrong): Hounds

Cerebus is named after Cerberus, the three headed hound of hell

Elvis had the sone I Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog

Oprah - I don't know

I know Elvis and Oprah were, I don't know about Cerebus, but I'll guess that all are from Mississippi?


The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

basically, that's it.
The Elvis portion had to do with the whole Aron/Aaron middle name bit.
