During his university years, his activities included sending, through the office window of his history professor, Dr. Talc, a paper airplane made from a yellow sheet out of a Big Chief writing tablet on which was written, in red crayon, "Your total ignorance of that which you profess to teach merits the death penalty." He is nearly arrested in his first scene, but is defended by the old fascist Claude Robichaux. He develops a rivalry with beleaguered Patrolman Mancuso, and is fond of calling things "hideous abortions." He also is asked by Lana Lee to leave her bar for nearly getting into a fight with a young gay man attempting to purchase his mother's hat, but is reinvolved with Lana's pornography ring because he believes Darlene to be, like him, a devotee of Boethius. Known for his earring, green felt hat, hot-dog cart, and ridiculous obesity, he started the world's briefest proletarian uprising at Levy Pants Company. For 10 points, identify this erstwhile lover of Myrna Minkoff, the protagonist of John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy
