	I came across some of these images on the web and thought that they would make for a great Sporcle quiz. Many thanks to Chet Phillips for granting permission to use the images. The card sets are available on his web site and are just as funny on the back side. For example, the Tolkien one (not included in this quiz, but changing his name to G.R.R. Tolkien) says: "Tolkien was an English fantasy writer known for his work "The Lord of the Collars" in which a host of characters, including Frodo Basset, Samwise Griffon and Merry Brandybark- along with Gandalf the Greyhound- battle to find and destroy the "one shock collar to rule them all." Hilarious stuff.

	That was fun! Surprised how many I got... even guessed a few by squinting and pretending they were human.

	@gellchom- Actually, yes, there is a 'Virginia Woof': http://www.etsy.com/listing/32978857/virginia-woof. Only a portion of the images from the set are included here. @monstro- I'm hoping that this is one of the few quizzes where doing badly is just as much fun as doing well.

	How could he not do "Karl Barx", it's so obvious!

	@Hejman: And here I thought the painter was afraid of Virginia Woof.

	Dali reminds me of Edward Elgar and Asimov reminds of Olivier Messiaen or Jean-Paul Sartre. Interesting quiz, although insanely difficult in some places (Truman Capote, in my opinion, is almost impossible to get outside of guessing).

	Unique and very cool quiz. Only got 14, but was a refreshing change of pace from the norm.

	Aww, look at the cute little artists and authors! Great quiz.

	Doing the quiz thinking. Artists and Authors? How are we supposed to know what they look like? We see and read their works not them. Of course then you see the names and you go 'oh right, totally looks like that.'

	I typed in Lautrec and every variety. Like most, forgot that his Toulouse Lautrec is his last name. That would explain the 1%. Fun quiz, but who actually has an image of Arthur Conan Doyle in their head?
