Friday Veeblefe$ter

A man in a suit and top hat stands on the platform at the depot of North Grunion as a train approaches. A car screeches to a halt and a woman in a robe and curlers runs up to the man. "You forgot your watercress sandwiches. Pop them in your attaché case and you can go about projecting your image."
January 15, 1966
Your guess is as good as mine, folks! I guess this guy isn't really all that he makes himself out to be (watercress sandwiches? Wotta loser!) but that's meeting this strip more than halfway.

Veeblefester is sitting at his desk, a bag of money sitting on the edge, as Brutus stands there. "I am thinking about changing the spelling of my surname, Veeblefester." "You mean to shorten it to something like Veeble?" "No, to change the S in Veeblefester to a dollar sign."
I don't think you can put symbols in your name. And I wouldn't be spending any time on your surname when your given name is Rancid.
