Mickey Mouse.
Without him, my hubby wouldn't have a job.

Brian, I never thought about Dewy. What a great choice.
Shephard,
I had a feeling that you would pick Mickey. Your hubby must have an amazing job, I envy him.
As for me, I am not sure how I would pick. I can think of so many fictional characters that have opened my eyes to a whole new world and they all have a special place in my heart.
Michelle, thank you so much for your comment, and helping me to be more clear. You are invited to do so any time! It only makes my writing clearer. :)
