I'd love to see it: H.G. Wells doing a TED talk. (Obviously, he's not fictional -- my leanings are more toward the historical.)

I used GIMP (still working at learning it -- this was great because of the many layers of images: the Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, the Time Machine, and his own film Things to Come).

With Wells himself, ready to give us the talk through the mic, taken from a photo of him broadcasting on the BBC in 1929.
