== Zapp ==
I was re-reading my comics, and in comic 3.0, on page 4, on a shelf of junk there is a box that is labelled "ZAPPED! The Uncensore(d)" and on the cover it has a picture of Zapp and a very surprised looking Leela covering herself with a sheet. Apparently Zapp recorded their 'intimate session' and it is now being sold (at least in flea market junk stores). I didn't notice this in the article, but I'm not sure if it should be in there.
Do we consider comics canon?

Featured.png Zapp Brannigan appeared on the Infosphere's Main Page as the featured article for February, 2008. This article (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best produced by the Infosphere community. If you can update or improve it, please do.

Whotmsig.jpg[Whaler on the Moon]: One little thing - additional information from the DVDs suggests that Zapp's full name is indeed "Zapp Fitzgerald Brannigan". Should we include this?

Buddy13 FW16.png What disk? If it can be confirmed, it should definitely be included.

Whotmsig.jpg[Whaler on the Moon]: I think it is one of the Season 3 disks. It was in that bit where you get shown how Leela is drawn. In the background, a lot of pictures can be seen, one of them being the one from the Lovenasium showing a certain "John Fitzgerald Brannigan". Here is a link to the picture in question: [1]

Buddy13 FW16.png However, it's a spoof on the famous portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, just like the portrait of Kramer [2] from Seinfeld. The name is clearly a spoof on this (hence the inconsistent first name). It's also the name of the portrait, not the subject. My vote is to not include it. Assuming your vote is to include it, that makes Gopher the deciding vote, as we are the three most active contributors at the moment... Feedback, Gopher?

Whotmsig.jpg[Whaler on the Moon]: We can always include it as a side note, as there is no real evidence of Zapp really bearing that name. However, even in these times a name like "Zapp" seems highly unlikely... maybe it is indeed his true name, and the "Zapp" part is just a nickname? Could be worth mentioning. But I'm good if you decide not to include it - probably not important.

Wikipedia kicked our butts

Zapp

I was re-reading my comics, and in comic 3.0, on page 4, on a shelf of junk there is a box that is labelled "ZAPPED! The Uncensore(d)" and on the cover it has a picture of Zapp and a very surprised looking Leela covering herself with a sheet. Apparently Zapp recorded their 'intimate session' and it is now being sold (at least in flea market junk stores). I didn't notice this in the article, but I'm not sure if it should be in there. Do we consider comics canon? Sliferjam 23:27, 6 August 2008 (CEST)
