    I thought at first it looked like Abe with a toothpic... but it seems kinda long for a toothpic. Perhaps he has a fever and is using a thermometer? Maybe he's smoking one of those thin cigarettes? Sucking on a stubble of hay?

    Unless persuaded otherwise, I'm calling him "Toothpick Abe"

    Too big for a toothpick, how bout a piece of straw?

    Definitely a piece of straw. But a toothpick could be argued. I can't see it being anything other than those two options, though.

    Then I guess I'm left with "Straw Abe" or "Huckleberry Abe", I'm leaning towards Huckleberry Abe

    Thanks for the inputs, now I can label my flip and move on.
