Nelson specializes in rubber-faced comedy characters, much as Red Skelton did in his heyday. His most popular originals include Jiffy Jeff, a punchy prizefighter; Eppy Eppeman, a know-it-all geek with thick eyeglasses; an unnamed dumb football player; Wilby Stuckinsin, a hillbilly chicken farmer based on a life experience of Nelson's in Shreveport, Louisiana; and Mr. Pingyah, an argumentative Asian man who is more eloquent than the people he argues with.
