I once read or heard someone call Combes "Grasshopper Boy." Since then, I have always thought of him as a grasshopper, because he kind of looks like one.

I’m quite fond of “Skeletor”, myself.
It is almost as good as Rush’s highly apropos moniker for the little cowardly prick Harry Reid: “Dingy Harry”.

The kids call Colmes “the creepy butler” because of his resemblance to any creeper butler that answers the door on the classic Scooby Doo cartoons. Years ago when our oldest was probably 7 or 8, he asked us, “Why does that man have one of his eyebrows way up in his forehead?” LOL!
