    I played this game (Toon) a few times back in the 1980s. It was one of the zaniest and unpredictable RPGs I've ever played.

    I can recall my character, Mickey Mantis, a cartoon praying mantis whose shtick (if I recall the terminology) was to pull baseballs from the air and throw them, catch most things with his baseball glove, and had portable fans (a miniature stadium that would appear with cheering fans) whenever something significant was accomplished.

    Other players I recall were Left-Hand Louie, a math professor with two left hands and a deadly slide rule. And Chilly, a portly penguin with a portable ice machine.

    The game moderator had to be very creative and exteremely quick on his feet.

    We occasionally played Toon when some of the regulars could not make it to the D&D or Traveller game.
