Poindexter

Poindexter was a character in the fictional Felix the Cat universe. He was the nephew of the Professor, the arch nemisis of Felix.

Pointdexter was very intelligent, and always wore thick glasses, a lab coat, and a motarboard. He would help his somewhat bumbling uncle concoct elaborate schemes to get Felix, and capture his Magic Bag.

The character was very popular, and today, the term "Poindexer" is often used as an insult for someone who is overly nerdy or bookish.
