Why is the creation date for Marvin the Martian missing from his page entry?

According to - http://www.gargaro.com/marvin.html

- Marvin was created in July, 1948.

I found this site through AskJeeves.com with this question - "when was marvin the martian created?"

AskJeeves.com listed other sites that repeated the same date.

I can not update the page based on information from a fan site. But I have emailed the owner of that site to perhaps update it.

-- The Explosive Space Modulator.

Ok, I've seen it as three different things, the Q-36, the Q-38 (see http://imdb.com/title/tt0051701/quotes?) and even the PU-36 (pronounced as Pew). Anyone got a good source for the official designation?

The bar sheet for Hare-Way to the Stars dubs it "Illudium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator". UndeniablyJordan 19:47, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, in this sample: http://www.gargaro.com/MaRvInWaVs/goody.wav it's definitely Q-36, while in this one from 1948: http://www.gargaro.com/MaRvInWaVs/new3.wav it's definitely (pronounced) Pew-36. I am changing the text in the main page to read "...changed to... Q-36... in subsequent cartoons". If anybody thinks there is some ambiguity in one of the other samples, it could read "... PU-36 and/or Q-36..."NoJoy (talk) 16:59, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Why was it changed from Plutonium to illudium>?

the voicing changed to an almost 'British' phrasing? This is a wierd adjective to describe a voice, stereotyping and not reliable as information, so much as personal belief .

Can someone change the catchphrase. It think it should be "Hmmm, isn't that lovely, huhh?

[edit] Image

Could someone explain the background behind the image on the left of the article - witohut explanation the reader is left wondering.... Martinp23 23:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of appearances

How about a section that lists all the cartoon shorts that Marvin appeared in? There probably weren't that many. 66.251.84.28 17:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is this about?

I just saw this...

"Marvin has made homosexual related jokes after being fooled by a cross-dressing Bugs Bunny and cross-dressing Daffy Duck."

I don't know if the Daffy instance was an episode of Duck Dodgers, but I can only think of one instance of Bugs crossdressing when facing off again Marvin (That would be "Lunar Tunes, an animated special from 1991".

Does anyone know what to make of this?
