Longtime Dee-troit dee-jay Tom Ryan had a beloved(?) character in the form of Count Scary. Even as a ten-year-old I was aware that he was a mere ripoff of Count Floyd, but here's a footnote I'd forgotten. It's Val, a relative of the Count, who was way too cool for school, lived in one of the Grosse Pointes, and wore a Lacoste cape. (It was the '80s, don't you know.)
