Who was Omar

 In an interview with Irv Ziemanns, Gaylord was asked twice who Omar was, since it appears in his account books. He said he couldn't remember but knew the comics were small promotional freebies included in cereal boxes and other food items. Omar, pictured here, was for the Omar Bread Company.
