Tiem now for a Special Mr Scorpio's Birthday Edition of WHO AM I?

[MrScorpio]

Hopefully you've played before, and also I hope that you'll play now

The rules:

Your goal is to figure out WHO AM I.

You get to ask three questions per post. My ONLY answers to your questions will either be "yes" or "no".

By Post #60 you must figure out WHO AM I. So do not waste posts on comments and such without questions or asking questions that have been previously asked. Make sure to check the prior posts to avoid repeats.

If you have figured out WHO AM I by post #50, I will tell you that you are Correct and you will win. If I am not correctly discovered, I will post in #51 WHO I AM actually and I will win.

Since I am answering all questions this mean that the maximum number of question posts will be 20. That should be plenty for some smart folks like you.

Good Luck

Let's Play

I've never really examined a single comic frame before - there's quite a lot going on there. It's easy to miss the depth when you're reading through for the story...

[MrScorpio]

49. That's why he was the King

I was always excited to get a new comic I never saw before

In 70's and 80's all I did was collect his stuff
