Ally Sloper
Ally Sloper was created by C. H. Ross and first appeared in Judy, or the London Serio-Comic Journal in 1867 in a strip called "Some of the Mysteries of Loan and Discount" and featured Alexander "Ally" Sloper and his friend Ikey Mo, a pair of working-class ne'er-do-wells. The characters soon became regulars, and were joined by Ally's wife, Mrs Sloper, his son, The Boy Sloper, and his daughter Toot-sie Sloper, and friends including the Hon. Billy, Lord Bobs, Dook Snook, Uncle Bof-fin, Aunt Geeser, Lardi Longsox and Nellie Hickiks
