The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy is the greatest piece of literature published since the First Folio of 1623, and as such it deserves considerably more discussion than it is currently getting.

My favourite charachter has to be Arthur Dent. But then hes the main charachter so that would be expected. However my favourite non main charachter are the Golgafrincum captian and Number two.
"We have discovered another continent" (number two)
"Oh when was this" (the Captain)
"It lies across the sea" said number two, narrowing his eyes significently "to the east.."
"ah" said the captian. Number two raised his gun high into the air. 'this is going to be great' thought the crowd
"We have declared war on it" Wild abandoned chearing broke across all corners of the clearing, this was beyond all expectation
"Wait a minute" shouted Ford "Wait a minute!" he waited for silence for a few moments more. He got it, or at least the best silence he could hope for under the circumstances. The cirucumstances were that the bagpiper was trying to spontaniously compose a national anthum
"Do we have to have the piper?" Ford asked
"Oh yes" said the captian "We've given him a grant". Ford considered oppening this idea up for debate, but then quickly realised that that way, maddness lay. Instead he slung a well judged rock at the piper
"War?" he said
"Yes total warefare, the war to end all wars!"
"But theirs no one even living there yet"
'ah intersting' thought the crowd 'nice point'
Number twos gaze hovered undisturbed. In this respect his eyes were like a couple of mosquitos who hover purposely 3 inches from your nose and refused to deflected by arm thrasehs, fly swats or rolled newspapers.
"I know that" he said "But there will be one day. So we have left an open ended ultimatum"
"What"
"And blown up a few millitary installations"
The captiain hummed and harred about this for a moment "Millitary instalations number two?"
For a moment the eyes wavered "Yes sir, well potential millitary installations. Allright, trees"

I went to a fancy dress party as Arthur Dent once. I had a bathrobe with mud on the back and my bath towel. Lots of people didn't get it. Forshame.
One of my puppet nations' national animal is the flolloping matress. It teeters on the brink due to widespread deforestation, apparently. Apart from Arthur Dent, this is my favourite character

I prefer the whale to the bowl of petunias. But I just like the idea of a whale impacting on a planet after dropping from 100km up. Seems funny to me

Maybe you could go as Zaphod or Marvin next time...

But the whale never comes back for revenge.

I have to vote for Marvin, though the pot of petunias is a close second.

The Golgafrinchian who made up the Final Solution to annoying dumbasses, with Ford Prefect (aka Ix) running a close second.

Marvin. or....
i haven't read it in a (really) long time now so i forget his name: the king/leader of the bird people who hate shoes. he always reminded me of BRIAN BLESSED as King Vultan in the Flash Gordon movie :D
Well, this might be the best literature written by the 1600s if you like childrens' novels...
Seriously, you need to read some fucking books instead of the little quirky sci fi novels that have some mediocre jokes.
And my favorite character is Zaphod.

Now that I think about it, my favorite character is Marvin.
