Joe Btfsplk

Joe Btfsplk is a character in the satirical comic strip Li'l Abner by cartoonist Al Capp.

The hapless Btfsplk means well, but he is "the world's worst jinx"[citation needed] and brings disastrous misfortune to everyone around him.

Joe reluctantly opens the jar and releases his cloud in order to take care of the boyfriend and wistfully realizes that he wasn't meant for any other kind of life.

Joe was later licensed for use in a series of animated TV commercials for Head & Shoulders, a dandruff shampoo.

During public lectures, Capp demonstrated this sound by closing his lips, leaving his tongue sticking out, and then blowing out air, which is colloquially called a "raspberry" or Bronx cheer.
