A few things that caught my eye, though I haven’t decided whether or not to offer/request yet:
• Oz - L. Frank Baum Button-Bright , Dorothy Gale, Patchwork Girl, Polychrome, Princess Ozma, Toto
The inclusion of Button-Bright interests me – he’s an Oz character I’ve always had a bit of trouble getting a handle on – likely because he was introduced as a toddler, then I think Baum must have aged him up to about nine or ten and given him his own spin-off series, before bringing him back as an Oz regular. As a toddler he’s a bit irritating—as an older kid he retains something of his initial stolidity, but it’s become less a matter of “too ignorant to panic” and more “has realized a wait-and-see approach works for him.”
• Parker Pyne - Agatha Christie Ariadne Oliver, Claude Luttrell, Madeleine de Sara, Parker Pyne
There’ve been Mr. Quinn requests again this year, but here’s another of the less well-known, potentially fun-to-play-with Christie series.
• Watership Down - Richard Adams Bigwig , Blackavar, Fiver , General Woundwort , Hazel , Silverweed
Inclusion of Silverweed notable.
• A Canterbury Tale (1944) Alison Smith, Bob Johnson , Peter Gibbs, Thomas Colpepper
Finally!
• Ich möchte kein Mann sein | I don't want to be a Man (1918) Dr Kersten, Dr Kersten's Valet, The Governess, Ossi Oswalda

sovay posted about this early Lubitsch comedy a few weeks back, which may well be how it (and A Canterbury Tale, above) got nominated.
• Hilda the Plus-Sized Pin-Up - Duane Bryers (Illustration Series)
Interesting but very open-ended, as the original works are basically single-panel cartoons. Hilda seems rather fun and outdoorsy, so camping adventures are a possibility, or maybe she could help out the girls fixing their car from this Norman Rockwell cover.
