Oh, and to prove that I can empathize:
When I was a kid (early 80's), I remember a cartoon coming on occasionally. I was one of the weird, short-lived ones -- not your Looney Toons, Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry, or anything that well known. There was a character on the show that had a physique like Yogi Bear (probably a little thinner), but he didn't have a head or neck. Where his head should have been, there was just a little stump -- like the last couple inches of a wooden broomstick -- with a few hairs growing off it. You didn't usually see that though, since he wore a little birdhouse over the stump like a helmet. I remember he would sometimes raise the birdhouse to reveal the stump, usually frightening another character in doing so.
For some reason I thought that this character's name was "Mr. Nobody." However, I've searched google for years without any success in finding out what this cartoon or character was.
There's a good chance I'm remembering some of the details incorrectly, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, you can help me erase years of frustration caused by not being able to remember this.
