Richard Rory is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.
 He initially was a sort of author surrogate or alter ego for writer Steve Gerber, though Gerber is also shown to exist in the Marvel Universe.
 He was introduced in "Man-Thing" Volume 1, #2, a bit of a loner who rather easily befriended the nearly mindless monster.
 When in rural areas, he was frequently belittled for having a college education and a rather left-wing perspective.
 Later, under the pen of David Anthony Kraft, he became friends with She-Hulk, with slight romantic overtones that went nowhere.
 The character is named after Richard Cory, a nearly opposite character whose song was playing on the radio when Gerber created the character.
Pumuckls Abenteuer (Pumuckl's Adventures) is a German television series.
 It is based on the fictional character Pumuckl created by Ellis Kaut.
 It is a sequel series to 1980s TV series Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl (Master [carpenter] Eder and his Pumuckl) and the cinematric movie Pumuckl und der blaue Klabauter (Pumuckl and the blue Klabauter).
 Due to his dead in 1993 actor Gustl Bayrhammer could not reprise his role of Meister Eder (Master [carpenter] Eder).
 Instead of recasting the character the producers decided to feature characters which had been new introduced in the cinematric movie, making the movie sort of a pilot to this series, bridging the gab between the events of first series and this one.
The Skipper is the title and nickname of Jonas Grumby, a fictional character from the 1960s situation comedy "Gilligan's Island".
 Played by Alan Hale, Jr., the Skipper (the character's actual name was rarely used after the show's pilot episode) was the owner and captain of the S. S. "Minnow" on its "three-hour tour" in Hawaii when he, first mate Gilligan (portrayed by Bob Denver), and their tourist passengers were caught in a violent storm and stranded on a deserted island.
 He acts often in his legal role as the group's leader, albeit with a decidedly collegial and democratic bent; the only individual whom he routinely orders about is Gilligan.
 In times of crisis, the Skipper tends to defer to the more level-headed and educated passenger, Professor Roy Hinkley (portrayed by Russell Johnson).
 He is sort of a strongman succumbed to lack of exercise, despite doing most of the physical work on the island or making Gilligan do it.
 He is also the most superstitious castaway, sometimes putting him in conflict with the Professor's rationalism.
