Oofy Prosser


Alexander Charles "Oofy" Prosser is a recurring fictional character from the stories of British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being the millionaire member of the Drones Club. He is also a friend of Jeeves's master Bertie Wooster. The most wealthy and envied member of the Club, he has the nickname "Oofy", which is British slang for "wealthy" or "made of money".

Life and character

Often described as the Drones Club millionaire, Oofy Prosser is the richest member of the club. Oofy and the second richest club member, Monty Bodkin, are apparently significantly wealthier than any other members, since it is stated in the novel Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin that Oofy Prosser and Monty Bodkin are "the only two really moneyed members of the Drones Club".
Because Oofy is both constantly being asked for £5 or £10 and a miser for loans, "a man in whose wallet moths nest and raise large families", he is considered ugly on both the inside and the outside – the pimples on his face being quite famous.
Bertie compares him with Reginald "Kipper" Herring in Jeeves in the Offing; "Kipper" would have been an unsafe entrant to have backed in a beauty contest, even if the only other competitors had been Boris Karloff, King Kong and Oofy Prosser....
However, Oofy can be a big spender, or a fierce gambler.
