There used to be a long running comic strip called 'The Man in Black'. I think it was in Tiger comic. It was about a really old bloke who had found the elixir of life, lived a clean life and broke all sorts of athletics records, bowled the Aussies out in cricket and still found time to bomb the Germans in WW2 etc. I think the strip would be based on our very own 'Man in Black' PhilRobbie if....
(i) Changed all the athletic and healthy living stuff to a man with unrivalled smoking and drinking capabilities. (ii) Merged the character with Dosser Jacket for the elixir of life and harping on about the olden days.
