His face looks like a 3 prong AC outlet. He could be the mascot for an electrical utility or part of a safety campaign.

You don't mean "Outlet Man!" or the star of that comic book series "Plug Head?"
Couldn't resist (smile) --- but that would be his arch nemesis - "Resistor Man."
Gotta stop...

Maybe it's a Goop licking his fingers - does that take you back to c 1955, Neglus?

Looks like Swee'Pea from the Popeye cartoons is all grown up.

Loose lips sink ships?
What's the flipside of the card say so we can get context i.e. 1930 European

Thanks all for the help! Now I can't FIND the postcard to look at the back again ...it was pretty blank except a postmark of 1942 (I think) and was published by Tichnor.
I was thinking Popeye related too...or Blondie/Dagwood but none seem to be right
I guess I like him because he is so deco-looking but won't be able to list until he surfaces again (probably filed back with unlisted/unsorted cards).

<<Anyone know who this character is?>>
Looks like he's raising his finger to make a bid. Could be a sniper at a live auction. Or it could be Classic bidding at the IRS auction for the Mustang Ranch in Nevada.
