Measles is a grizzled old sidekick without a partner, longing for the days of the Old West. He hopes to travel west, visiting (and being photographed with) historical markers along the way.
Measles was created as a tribute to the great character actor, Jack Elam. Elam played in many, many westerns, often as the grizzled sidekick. These roles made him one of the most memorable supporting actors in Hollywood. His success as a character actor has been attributed not only to his near-demented screen persona but also to an out-of-kilter left eye, sightless from a childhood fight.
Measles (like Elam's characters) lives very much in the moment. He feels as much at home around the embers of a dying campfire as he does belly up to the bar, ordering another round of whiskey for his fellow cowpokes. He exhibits great skill at driving a stagecoach, yelling things like "Yah!" and "Howdy!" and bolstering his courage with equal doses of whiskey and freshly baked cookies.
