Lord Licorice

I have a confession to make: I always thought Lord Licorice from Candyland was hot.

No, not this one:

lord licorice3

or this one:
lord licorice4

or this one:
lord licorice1

No, the one I remember from the 80's that looked like this:

lord licorice2

Now, I realize he was the villian of the whole game (thus the reason you got to play) but I guess I've always loved the bad boys. Even though the rest of the guys in that game were either made of goo, covered in hair or wider than they were tall, I consider Lord Licorice one of the most attractive cartoon characters ever. Of course, you have to overlook the large, pointy ears and the nose that would stab you whenever you kissed. But in exchange, you'd be living in a pretty sweet castle, surrounded by triangular boulders with eyes and sometimes mouths. And besides, you know that boy can dance.

Oh my God!! I know you wrote this like a year ago, but I have to respond. I had the biggest crush on Lord Licorice. In fact, I had a crush on the exact same version of Lord Licorice that you did. You're right; he's very hot. When they changed him to the current version, a part of me died.

Well, not really. But I was pretty pissed.

I dunno, Lord Licorice is a creepy old dude enticing children into his castle to reclaim their stolen goods if memory serves, that's as conspicuous as a clown parking a windowless van in front of an elementary school
