Can I retitle this to

Creative Character concepts I wish my players would come up with.

I'll probably post some of my more popular comics to support this project, but... maybe only a couple a week so as to not flood the place :D

That first one reminded me of a story I heard at a small SF convention in LA back in the '90s.

This writer was working on The Real Ghostbusters (long story behind that name) and in the episode they go in the space shuttle to a space station. Everyone on the space station is a Star Trek character analog and so hilarity ensues as the rest of the episode is just a Star Trek spoof.

One of the characters is based on Janice Rand who, in the show, had a basket-weave hairdo. The writer included in the script a note to the animators about her hair. The animators were Asian and did not know what a basket-weave was, and it being pre-Wikipedia, they just made an assumption. The test animation they got back had the Janice Rand-alike with a basket literally woven into her hair.

They kept it in the final episode, of course.

Edit: found it, at about 2:30 https://www.crackle.com/watch/d4228840-874e-418c-afd7-a9b93146e6ed/the-real-ghostbusters/ain't-nasa-sarily-so
