[edit] does not fit

the Collyer brothers were certainly hoarders, but not misers. Their lack of spending was a result of mental health conditions, not frugality. I am removing them from the article. -Bottesini 00:14, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Addition

Should Shylock (Shakespeare) be included? --maru 00:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

According to allshakespeare.com, "Shakespeare based Shylock on the miser, a stock character from medieval* literature. Although the miser was traditionally a comical villain, the playwright made his character more human by giving him sympathetic qualities."

Seems Shylock should be included, and we need something about the medieval comical character, too. --Djadek 00:41, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Something like *Shylock, Shakesperean medieval comical character? --maru 00:45, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Norbert Colon

Changed the reference to him being an American character - he isn't, he's from the British comic, Viz, as stated in the article to which his name is linked.
