I don't think we've figured out all the people on this one yet.

Yes, it's NN. I provided one suggestion for this artwork upon seeing a not-yet-final version.

Don't everyone jump in at once to identify the other characters. It's unseemly.

I believe I also see...
Bryce Prefontaine
Hammerhead of Threat to Society
Judge Montgomery Davies with a device of some sort
Darren from work
Horse from Jock Squad
and a tiny Timmy Von Trimble sporting a confederate flag.

Rick from the Washington Generals
Gene Simmons
GG Allin
Philly Boy Roy
Barry Dworkin/Gas Station Dogs
Zachary Brimstead, Esq
Trent L. Strauss
Pudge
and what's the name of Jon's Father/Priest character?
and is that Marky Ramone reading erotic fan fiction?

The girl? down front with the bow in her hair

This is a tough one because I suspect that it is incongruous to what most people imagine the character to look like, but it's a valid interpretation by NN (we discussed this; my assumption on who it was wrong when I first saw a draft of the illustration).

My guess is Rhoda Ziegler?

I think the guy with the green glasses and green striped shirt and mustache is Terrence from Billyburg maybe and the guy with the blue looks like he has a tape recorder in his pocket so I thought it might be Bob but I don't think he does Blue in that call so I don't know.

and I think that Reggie Munroe in the bottom right corner

Oh, the kid in the green shirt/red hat and the guy in the orange shirt are Big Bill and Little Bill.

Also see a mouse with a cape.

The "girl" is probably a man. She has a unibrow. Were there any men who dressed as ladies? I confess that I know the 2000-2007 calls better than the 2008-2013 ones.

Butch Daffodil?

Also, who has the cane?
Title: Re: New Neil Numberman artwork, right?
Post by: agent_jimmy on March 20, 2015, 02:46:35 PM
does this help us identify all of them? Is the cane part of someone who is out of frame?

Yes.

yeah...I would never have guessed that. why the unibrow? why the pink bow? isn't she supposed to be like this babe that everyone's dated and not like an ugly child? i kinda baffled. I always pictured her like your steroetypical 80's jersey shore kinda chick you know? big hair, jean jacket, thick accent, chewing gum

Post by: buffcoat on March 20, 2015, 05:08:26 PM
#39 is Gus Brennan of the Newbridge Ratmen

Also, the arm on the left with the cane is not part of the guy with the fluffernutter sandwich.

Corrections:

24 Matthew Tompkins of Shout! Network (could be Ron Jacobs of Shout! Radio, but Tompkins looms much larger in Newbridgia)
38 is Brock Peuchk, in a ski-mask with a knife
Title: Re: New Neil Numberman artwork, right?

yeah, he called as a "neighborhood hero" saying he kept foiling crimes by a guy with a knife and ski mask, then him and tom go off on a crazy tangent about newscasters and how they secretly shaped rock music.

it's on the best show gems, one of the best calls ever in my opinon

Also, who has the cane?

this might not help much, but i just noticed the spikes on the cane and remembered the line, "Then I would flick the cane, and I would slash you in the face." from one of the old show intros. i have no idea who said it, though.
Title: Re: New Neil Numberman artwork, right?
Post by: TrapNeuterReturn on March 21, 2015, 09:11:18 PM
11 is Hammerhead

I think 18 is the only one not identified.

Good catch on the tape recorder, he "weighs in on the blu epidemic" as one of his bits..so he's a possibility.

All right, now we really do have at least suggestions - strong ones, I think - for everyone but

#18, who is a crazed-looking guy with a baseball bat.

#29, who is a drunk guy with weird lips
Title: Re: New Neil Numberman artwork, right?
Post by: JRSly on March 22, 2015, 01:12:40 PM
Could 18 be Bruce Willis? He was really aggressive in studio, can't recall of the top of my head if he might have had a bat.

yep you nailed it. I just relistened to when he storms the studio and he's crazed, wielding a bat.

so does that just leave 29? I've been racking my brain but I can't come up with a good guess. I'm just going to say it's Zeph

I love the listing on the inside spine of the box set -- I try guessing and then check the list. Averaging 60% right now

Zeph makes sense.

I believe it was a Darren (?) call where he said that Sheila "isn't really a woman."
