The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, ongoing.

Again, this is one I'll have to look up.

I think this is Snowball the cat from the Nutcracker Scoob episode of the New Scooby Doo Mysteries.
Snowball is the beloved pet of Winston Nickleby. Despite being suspected by the gang of being the Ghost of Christmas Never--it actually isn't him.

Correct, Glowworm. Though I think Snowball's owner's name was Winslow Nickleby, but who's keeping track?

Anyway, I'm sure my cat would approve of this choice in character, considering her name is also Snowball.

Yeah, thanks, I wrote that too quickly. It is Winslow. I had a college roommate who was watching Scooby Doo episodes on youtube a few years back--I don't think we were anywhere near Christmas when she was watching that.

Anyhow, give me some time-- my Saturdays are actually quite busy--filled with work, and then some time with my boyfriend afterwards. Worse comes the worse, there may be something by Sunday. Sorry for delays.

I think I can sneak one in this morning.
1. In one of my shorts, I try to stay up so I can see Santa.
2. I went on adventures with a little girl in my comic books.
3. Despite my Disney-like looks, I am not from there.

Ah, an easy one. Sniffles the mouse.

Yeah, I needed something not so complicated, I really didn't want to keep the game from progressing.

Sniffles the Mouse it is.
1. The short was "Bedtime for Sniffles"
2. Sniffles would go on adventures with a girl named Mary Jane in his comics. Mary Jane could make herself the size of Sniffles--mainly by chanting some magic words although magic sand and wishing worked too.
3. Sniffles was one of Jones' early characters, so he has the looks and behavior of a Disney character rather than say Daffy Duck or Bugs Bunny.

Thanks, Glowworm. Now here's one that's just as easy:

1. I'm both the foreman of the workshop, and the conductor of a male chorus.

2. I tell a team player he'll never fit in after he reveals what he wants to be.

3. After my boys sing their song, I complain that the tenor section is weak!

I know this one: it's the Elf Foreman (he don't gots a name, do he?) from the stop-motion production Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer by Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass. Foreman wonders why the elf Hermey isn't making toys up to Santa's standards, and the response is that Hermey would rather be a dentist. Elf Foreman tends to be critical of others; perhaps that's why he's a supervisor.

Yes, OUB you nailed it. And he does have a name: Boss Elf. So now it's your turn again. Great job.

Goodie, 'nudder one right. So, I must think up another Mystery Character, ideally with a Christmas theme. Aha! Oop, no, he's taken. How 'bout ... this one?

1) This character has appeared only once to date in an animated feature film that has a Christmas theme.

2) Right off the bat, this character isn't human. Nor is he a cat, despite spending a goodly amount of time resting.

3) Awake, though, this character is a real enthusiastic dynamo, able to do the work of eight all by himself.

Just checked all the animated films about Xmas, and there are no characters to match the clues as yet.

I also have some more searching to do.

More clues? Okay, moar it shall be.

4) People shoot at this character. A lot. Big guns, too. Bang bang boom boom. Fortunately, there's no danger that this character will be shot and killed, because he's already dead. Plus, they're aiming more at his master than at him.

5) This character is especially good at retrieving: lost fuzzy hats, detached ribs, self-respect. Amazing what this li'l guy can fetch.

6) Oh, and to be fair, this character doesn't replace all eight sleigh-pulling reindeer, just the lead one. He's an unnatural at it.

Zero the Ghost dog from the Nightmare Before Christmas?

Ahh, you beat me to it Glowworm.

......

Count it! This is totally Zero, the ghost dog companion of Pumpkin King Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Zero has Rudolph's place d'honneur at the head of Jack's team of skeleton reindeer, and seems to do much of the pulling / steering. Also, when first seen, he rises from a grave in the cemetery when Jack beckons him. Which means he missed all the fun of the "Hallowe'en Song" opening.

That means Glowworm gets the binary opposite of Zero, a substantial +1, and control of the board. Yay!

Thanks. I was trying really hard to think of something Christmas themed--a bit hard when you're Jewish and haven't watched a lot of Christmas specials as a child. However, I do have something.

1. I am not Disney, but I do follow up on a familiar fairy tale.
2. I share the same name as my mother.
3. I also share her enemy, who has suddenly reappeared after a lengthy disappearance.

Can't figure it out for the life of me.

I'm going to wait for the next set of clues.
