So it has to be a character that appears both in the intro and later in the game. And is seen at the dock. That eliminates a lot of characters so...

Are you Dr. Ptahseptut "Tut" Smith's mustache?

I rest above a red line - He has red lips.
and below a flower pot. - His fez.
I am bow-shaped. - It looks like a bow, as in bow-and-arrow.

Exactly! Nicely done. Yes, if you turn your head to the right, his curved moustache looks like a bow.

Your turn, NBS.

I'm hidden away
Someone's idea of a joke
For a good time call...

Wild guess: in LSL1, the phone outside the convenience store has a "For a good time, call..." and a number. If you call it, it goes to either a Sierra hotline (in LSL1 EGA/VGA, I think?) or to a "wild party phone-line" (in LSL1: Reloaded).

So, are you that number?

No

New clue:
I'm someone's idea of a joke, but you probably won't get it.

Another wild guess: when you stop a speeding woman in PQ1, she gives you a phone number (for a good time, call me). But it's a trap - it's actually the number for the mayor's wife. Are you that number?

No

I'm not actually a number.

Are ye found in a game with the word 'Quest' somewhere in the title (King's Quest, EcoQuest, ConQuest, BeQuest, etc)?

Are you in a game set on Earth (i.e. not fantasy or space)?

Yes

Are you in a Police Quest game?

Are you in an EcoQuest game?

(NBS recently finished an EcoQuest game. But I've never played one ... so I hope that's not it)

No (I'm still debating adding these to the mix)

Are you in Colonel's Bequest, then?

(Please don't add the EcoQuest games. I've nothing against them, but I've never played them; they're not for me) *shrug*

How do you know they're not for you if you have never played them?

Anyway - are you in EcoQuest?
