I was thinking about it t'other day (I think such things instead of getting my work done): when and where has Mr. Bowie been used as a character in someone else's work? Bret's freaky dream in "Flight Of The Conchords" comes to mind, as does a recent goof on "Frost/Nixon" on 'Saturday Night Live". He's in paint numerous times (and on furniture in Lemon Magazine). There's an amusing comic online that's getting some good use out of Jareth, but what have you experienced?
In a UK kids TV show called 'The Fimbles'. There's a chicken who has a chick called 'Ribble' and one day, they're doing some painting and Ribble gets splashed with paint. Mother Hen ('Bessie) exclaims "Ribble, Ribble, your face is a mess!
There used to be a photo story site online called 'Bowie Lived In My House' or something like that. Bowie was homeless, so this guy took him in as a lodger. It was pretty funny and might be available on the Wayback Machine.
"David Bowie Ruined the economy"
That's a character reference if I heard one!
(Ribble-Ribble, yer face is a mess.... is hilarious!!!!"
Thanks a LOT Michael S.!!
