Michael Rosenbaum.. in a very real, authentic sense... I'm completely convinced that Gollum / Smeagol-Gollum got his name from William Whitey Gull.. maybe you can talk to Alan Moore about the historical man William Whitey Gull who is a man I am a 1000% convinced has NEVER been a credible suspect.. for.. has NEVER been considered a credible suspect for being Jack the Ripper.. Alan Moore has said in an interview with Gary Groth that William White Gull is a man that he Alan Moore actually has a great deal of respect for... I think the powerful similarity between the name Gollem / Gollum / Golem and William Whitey Gull is.. very deliberate .. and historical.. also .. their is a book called, "Johnathon Livingston Seagull".. I want to read it someday.. I really do...
