  Joe Btfsplk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe Btfsplk is a character in the comic strip Li'l Abner.
In addition to the obvious comic effect, Li'l Abner cartoonist Al Capp often used Joe Btfsplk as a deus ex machina to produce miraculous rescues or to effect plot twists.
According to Capp, btfsplk is a rude sound.

In Capp’s array of many interesting characters that lived in his hillbilly society was Joe Btfsplk who had an ever-present rain cloud over his head wherever he went.
If there was anyone in baseball who emulated hard luck Joe Btfsplk it had to be Hugh Noyes Mulcahy who was better known as “Losing Pitcher” Mulcahy.

Joe Btfsplk is the character I remembered best, so I went looking for more.
JOE BTFSPLK is very simply the world's biggest jinx.
Though well-meaning and gentle, his reputation inevitably precedes him, so Joe is a very lonely and feared little man. He is also a character with an apparently unpronounceable name, but creator Al Capp pronounced Btfsplk with a "raspberries" sound, also known as a "Bronx cheer."

And OmegaMom is feeling like the Joe Btfsplk of the Chinese adoption world.

To put it plainly: Every time I visit Princeton to celebrate a Jewish holiday, I get drenched.
In this respect I resemble two great, though fictional, characters: Rob McKenna, a trucker in the fourth book of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, and Joe Btfsplk, a bringer of bad luck in Al Capp’s comic strip Li’l Abner.
When, early on Friday night, I sought the shelter of 1879 Arch to listen to a Wildcats arch-sing – and to give my sodden clothes a chance to drip-dry – I think I understood how McKenna and Btfsplk must have felt.

He worked mainly on Sunday installments, and those are reprinted in color in this series of oversize hardcovers.
The Sunday serials were briefer than the daily ones, which would often stretch for months, and often downplayed Abner and the rest of the Yokum family in favor of such supporting characters as ruthless capitalist General Bullmoose, walking jinx Joe Btfsplk, and gorgeous but odoriferous pig-keeper Moonbeam McSwine.
Among these volumes' highlights are a sequence depicting the slothful Abner's job as a mattress tester, an account of Dogpatch's invasion by turnip termites, and an episode featuring an unbilled Marilyn Monroe that plays to Frazetta's cheesecake skills.

 Republican fortunes have taken a real nosedive
As Labor Day approaches, and with it the traditional beginning of the fall campaign season, Illinois Republicans might be tempted to replace the party’s longtime elephant symbol with Joe Btfsplk, the Li’l Abner character always drawn with a dark cloud over his head.
Already on the wane, GOP fortunes took a real nosedive after Jack Ryan, the party’s nominee for U.S. Senate, bowed out following disclosure of embarrassing allegations of sexual high jinks contained in child custody records.
