Well, lemme see. "Dipstick" was a cartoon duck in a short-lived comic strip by a local cartoonist in one of the Seattle papers. Dipstick wasn't like Donald Duck. He wore a jacket and what looked like a derby hat, spent most of his time sitting on the end of a dock on the waterfront and commenting on the news of the day. He appeared on the editorial page rather than the regular comic page. He had a sort of semi-human appearing buddy named Cecil Addle (Get it? C. Addle.)

I think he got his name from coming out second best in too many encounters with oil-spills.

Anybody have a good definition for the word "dork?"
