Friends, I am true to my word. Here are the answers to Matthew Draws 18, just four days after the drawings were posted. You are busy people. Several of you are probably about to jump on a plane. Others might be meeting with ambassadors or duchesses. Still others might still be unwashed and in their pajamas.

Or is it just me?

As for this fine fellow…

As I suspected, nearly half of you correctly identified him. But first, I will tell you that it is not Apollo Ono, John Travolta, Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, Richard Branson, Viet Nam Vet, or Martina Navratilova.

No, indeed. He is none other than Bono.

Moving on, then, to this perky young thing.

You people do me great credit. Almost ALL of you correctly identified her. But, thankfully, several of you did not.

She is not, for example, Meryl Streep, Dame Judith Anderson, Queen Elizabeth, or Lacey Footballhead Nor is she Isabel Crawley, though that answer is decidedly closer.

In fact, she is Maggie Smith as Lady Violet, the Dowager Countess. Though I really fond of the person who guessed “downton grandma person.”

Speaking of grandma people…

I see why several of you thought this was Angela Merkel. The resemblance is there. Alas, it was someone else I was attempting to offend. But not Barbara Mikulksi. Neither is it Hillary Clinton nor Judy Dench nor Nancy Grace, nor Newt Gingrich.

And as much as I would like to award the crown to the person who guessed it, this fine lady is not “one of the lesser hobbits.”

Alas no one of you guessed Janet Yellen, denying the perfect scorecard I had thought might be possible, and giving me leave to keep on Matthew Drawsing for the foreseeable future.

You did much better with this one, but he is not Joel Osteen. He is not Stephen Colbert or Roosevelt or Tom hanks or Walter White.

Nay, he is, as most of you guessed, Al Franklin, Democratic senator from Minnesota.

And now for the bonus question, which this week had a decidedly racy theme: If you had to sleep with one of these people, which one would it be, and why?

Your answers were inspiring:

#3, because who doesn’t love a nap.

Al Franken, because he would draw a map of the USA freehand for me (look up the video)

Al Franken, because he’s good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like him.

Bono, because it’s Bono

Downton Grandma in a heartbeat. So much sass.

Gross

Ewwww!

O…no thank you…

The Dowager Countess for the wet kisses and the dry wit

Yikes. Maggie Smith. She’d probably have an early bedtime.

The cool guy with the sunglasses and earring, because he’s the only one who doesn’t look like my dad

Well, I guess Bono from a sexual point of view, but I’m not sure there’d be enough room in the bed for me, my dogs, Bono, and Bono’s ego.

Thank you all. I appreciate the support. And interest. And wild guesses. I have just received the sealed envelope with the list of next week’s victims. Which is to say, I’m  heading off to draw, Matthew style.
