[CaptKevinKID]

Don't you think this looks like Winslow from tales of Monkey Island?
He was welcoming in HMS Queen Victoria in to Liverpool Cruise termnial today, I feel so proud Liverpool is getting all the ships and trade again, all the American's spending there money in the city I Love lol

Note the same company that was behind Titanic.

How about him then? (http://vimeo.com/12171944) (Though it's more about obsessing over typewriters than maps... ;))

Why YES, that's much more like it! Just turn around that "M" on his cap and we're there!

[doodo!]

The Winslow we know was very tan, and younger and free spirited...and fatter...and shorter...and made me uncomfortable some times.

[Scrawffler]

There's definitely a similarity. Can't say they look like twins but it does look a little bit like him. :D

Hmm. I think when I wrote that I was referring to both CaptKevin's and MonkeyMania's photos...

I present Real Life Winslow.
Reginald VelJohnson AKA Carl Winslow from Family Matters.

I don't think he was "tan", I always thought of him as being black. Isn't he? If not black, then perhaps of middle Eastern descent. His accent and mannerisms are thoroughly British, though, which I would have thought was unusual in the 1600s, but anachronisms abound in Monkey Island so meh.

Apart from the skin, hair and coat colour, though, this guy does look a bit like Winslow :)

Wow, maybe that was intentional on the part of TTG :P

That's who Winslow is based on, at least the name.

This makes me laugh, I remember when we had a thread dedicated to that. That was a fun thread.

Wasn't there a picture someone did of Winslow's head from ToMI on Winslow from Family Matters body?

No, the unison was already made, some one just showed the world!

Yep that is the original Winslow. No doubt about it. Especially cause it was hard not to think of Family Matters when Winslow's name was mentioned.

[doodo!]

The real question is how did he end up in MI and could he take himself in a fight?

Ha! It's funny because poxed Winslow sounds just like him!

Perhaps season 2 will have a character named Jaleel Urkel.
