A fictional character created by Peter Cook, Spotty Muldoon, who wore a paper bag over his head to cover his face, was the subject of Cook's Ballad of Spotty Muldoon which reached the Top Forty in 1965. Muldoon featured in Cook's E.L. Wisty sketches, which he performed with Beyond the Fringe. Muldoon's regular column in Private Eye offered humorous solutions to readers' absurd problems and featured a variant of Morley's photograph.
