Inky (ghost)
Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, collectively known as the Ghost Gang, are a quartet of colorful ghost characters from the ''Pac-Man'' video game franchise. Created by Toru Iwatani, they first appear in the 1980 arcade game ''Pac-Man'' as the sole antagonists. The ghosts have appeared in every ''Pac-Man'' game since, sometimes becoming minor antagonists or allies to Pac-Man, such as in ''Pac-Man World'' and the ''Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures'' animated series. Some entries in the series went on to add other ghosts to the group, such as Sue in '' Ms. Pac-Man'', Tim in '' Jr. Pac-Man'', and Funky and Spunky in ''Pac-Mania''; however, these did not appear in most later games. The group has since gained a positive reception and are cited as some of the most recognizable video game villains of all time. Concept and creation The ghosts were created by Toru Iwatani, who was the head designer for the original ''Pac-Man'' arcade game. The idea for the ghosts was made from Iwatani's d ...

Inky (police Dog)
Inky was a police dog who appeared in the British police drama '' Softly, Softly: Task Force'' during 1969–70. His handler was PC Snow, played by Terence Rigby. He is remembered for a minor stir he caused on British television. The scriptwriter wanted to show something of the dangers police officers sometimes faced in their work, but thought it might upset the viewers if one of the characters was killed, so he wrote an episode where the police dog was shot and killed by a gunman. The episode was "Escort", the sixteenth and last in series 1 (transmitted 12 March 1970). Some viewers were upset by this episode, and shortly after Inky appeared on the children's programme ''Blue Peter'' to assure children who had seen the programme that he was all right. Inky's replacement on the programme was Radar. Radar died between series and members of the cast were pressured by the BBC to attend the dog's funeral.
