What is the name of the cartoon character shown in the picture?
Spooky the 'Tuff Little Ghost' is a fictional character that appeared in titles published by Harvey Comics. Spooky first appeared in 'Casper the Friendly Ghost' #10 (June 1953). He is Casper's cousin, although their exact relation is never specified. He generally resembles Casper except he has freckles, a derby hat, and a large, black nose. He was created as a supporting character for Casper the 'Friendly Ghost'.
Spooky is written with a Brooklyn accent, for example calling his girlfriend and fellow ghost Pearl, "Poil." His iconic derby hat is a "doiby." Although he shares traits with The Ghostly Trio as far as loving to scare the living and being somewhat of a tough guy, he is not as cruel to his cousin as the Trio are, though he occasionally makes fun of Casper for being friendly, and Spooky has his moments of goodwill.
After several appearances in 'Casper the Friendly Ghost', Spooky moved to several spin-off titles, including Spooky Spooktown (1961–1976), Spooky Haunted House (1972-1975) and Tuff Ghosts Starring Spooky (1962–1972). The original ran until #161 in September 1980.
