Walrus

Rotund, pompous, and endlessly dignified in the face of chaos.

Oliver Hardy's screen persona was defined by his large physical presence, exasperated dignity, and slow-burning authority — forever outraged by the incompetence around him, especially Stan Laurel's. His signature move of adjusting his tie and staring into the camera captured a man who considered himself the voice of reason and respectability, despite being perpetually humiliated. The walrus perfectly captures his rotund gravitas, ancient sense of self-importance, and formidable yet ultimately comic authority.
