Marvin the Martian has always been one of my favorite characters...I'm still not sure as to why. It might be because he always tries to blow up the world (because it blocks his view of Venus) and never succeeds. However, he doesn't give up. He just tries to find new ways to do it and continues on. There is a lesson to be learned there. I just think that he is way cool. I have a large collection of Marvin things.
