The Falstaffs of comics: Wimpy, Tubby, Mr O'Malley. (This new Barnaby collection is aces btw)
@goodmanbeaver I'd say all are closer to Mr. Micawber than Falstaff. But, yeah, definitely variations on a type.

@HeerJeet true: they're more bumbling, less tragic, & O'Malley esp. is more Micawberishly prolix. He harks back to Twain's great frauds, too -
