Free guess: Tom Bombadil

You are correct.

Middle-earth is supposed to be a past version of Earth but maybe I should have passed on that question.

:D

i think your answer was fine, and i mentioned QM discretion specifically to avoid a pass. fun choice!

next round will be up soon

Frosty the Snowman

No.

I'm not sure how charitable you are feeling, but Frosty the Snowman was first introduced in North America.

I don't know how I feel about doing this every time, but sure. Guess refunded.

First introduced before 1942?

Are you sure that's a good use of question 19?

The timeframe is too wide but I will scratch it for you to ask a better question.
