I have learned "Unemployed Man" thorough VOA Special English program. I like this kind of naming to the characters in comics. It reminds me of "Kobayashi Yoshinori"（小林よしのり）'s comics. For example, in his well-known work named "Toudai Ittyoku-sen" （東大一直線）, the main character's name is "Toudai Touru"（東大通）.

東大通 is a pretty amusing name. That guy was just destined to go to Tokyo University.
I think I'd heard of Unemployed Man somewhere myself.
Jon-san,
Kobayashi Yoshinori's another famous comic is "Obbochama-kun"（おぼっちゃまくん）. "Obbochama" means a boy who is born in wealthy family. The main character's name of this comic is "Obou Thama"（御坊茶魔）.
