The real name of the character is Doctor Reichwein

He looks like Brimley, precisely because the artist intended to do so
At least this is what wikipedia claims.

The Character of Dr. Reichwein bears a physical resemblance to the American Actor Wilford Brimley and Shunsaku Ban from Astroboy. Naoki Urasawa has also used the physical appearance of Brimley in the Pluto manga as well.

Awesome. Thanks for translation.

By the way check out the YT channel for this. This fat slob cat (i know it's the fur, or big boned) sits lounging on his back on pillows and eats at the table.

well, I don't think either user is active, so discard the old one. Well, Pallen (submitter of the original) is definitely not active. No comments, all old videos. I'll go ahead *return this one and discard the other.

*discuss Ok I'm really confused what to do here... this is a dupe to http://www.videosift.com/video/Wilford-Brimley-has-Diabeetis however, the other video that was posted first only has ONE VOTE... I would feel bad to discard this video since it has lots more votes than the first post... what do we do here?

His name should have been Wilford, not Winston.

At least his nails don't have sugar, so he won't get diabeetus.

man....that really does remind me of ol' Wilford....that big face-r Persian's all that fat?..is that any reason to wanna kill em? I think it's just that they have a lotta hair......some folks recoil form pelon...others from carpet-

its how the world pronounces it bro, wilfords a pimp

I love Wilford Brimley. So much, that a co-worker and I made diabeetis.com a few months ago. He truly is my personal hero.

The voice of Wilford Brimley is Stephen Colbert.
