Book figure? Caractacus Potts (Ian Fleming's inventor of Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, and 'TootSweet', to name a few items).
Comic book character? Dr. Manhattan (runner-up, Tony Stark). They are both 'out' as it were.
Graphic-novel character? Floyd Farland, Citizen of the Future (email me for the link).
Song character? "Long Haired Country Boy" (runner-up? Aqualung).
Poem about people like me? Dylan Thomas' "The Force that Through the Green Fuse" (runner up, Stevie Smith's, "Not waving, but Drowning."
Um, actually *physically* resemble (at this point, but it's really getting much better): The giant who sailed the boat that had spinal and breathing problems in "Time Bandits" (I *CAN* *BREATHE*!!!).
But in my mind, Robert De Niro in "Brazil" (in your mind, likely "Baron Munchausen").
