His West German gentleman wore a bow tie, suit jacket and pinstripe trousers instead of an SA brown shirt, his hair was stringy, always a bit dishevelled, and if there was an enemy in the world at all, it was everyday life.
But this potato-nosed gentleman who made Loriot famous only rarely lost his countenance , and it was this stoic calm that made him , apart from his opposite number , the excitable HB manikin – a cartoon advertising figure of the German cigarette brand HB – the epitome of the German cartoon of the period .

Dennoch verlor dieser Knollennasen-Herr, der Loriot berühmt machte, nur selten die Contenance, und gerade diese stoische Ruhe machte ihn neben seinem glatten Gegenteil, dem aufbrausenden HB-Männchen, einer gezeichneten Werbefigur der deutschen Zigarettenmarke HB , zum Inbegriff des deutschen Cartoons jener Zeit.
