It's horror in an Archie vein with this pick, Captain Pumpernik, from Archie's Mad House. Yeah. He really caught on, did Pumpernik. Remember how you used to tell your mom that you'd positively die if you didn't get a Pumpernik lunchbox? Remember the Pumpernik balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? Oh yeah ...

Aw, don't knock the li'l guy. I'm sure it likewise sucks on toast to read today, but I'm forever hunting a one-shot back-up feature called "Batty." Batty was a ugly little bat dressed like a certain popular TV camp-humor show (think Adam West as drawn by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth).
