Slartibartfast's drawing is probably his own, though I could be wrong.

Atkingani's got some sort of national figure, but I forgot who it is.
Alitare has Nietzsche in his avatar.
Epignosis has Skeletor in his avatar.

 
Thanks for clarifying Ricochet. I'm a nitwit who sticks all of his time in prog music. I guess I should watch some cartoons on TV every now and then. I heard of the Simpsons for instance but I never watch them.Embarrassed
A day without prog is a wasted day

2 and 3 - it's one of the illustrations from Rush's Fly By Night. Appropriately enough, By-Tor And The Snow Dog.


I hope the Rush fans at least knew this

Mine is one of my books, some not-so-subtle advertising that I hope no-one finds offensive!

I must get a better resolution though.

Mine is the Stanley Cup.  Currently, the possession of the Detroit Red Wings, and with them leading the Pittsburgh Penguins 2 games to 0 in the Stanley Cup finals, it might possibly be my avatar for another year.

Mine is a Homo erectus.
 
I found the pic for the first time about a year ago. We were regular editors of the Hungarian Wikipedia with my brother and there was a very tiresome 13-year-old girl who always spammed her user page with "cute" pictures. One of those ("Cuki.jpg" = "Cutie.jpg"), which was also used in her signature, was deleted because of the copyright laws, but the red link remained at the place of the old pic. We decided to upload this very cute guy with that file name – the result was more than funny LOL
yeah

Duckman (music by Frank Zappa) edited into a frame from a Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck cartoon.  Came out of a strange discussion on another forum.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
