Help identify the mystery comic strip character!

In the 75th anniversary Blondie comic strip, who's the blue guy with the yellow nose standing the the left (our left, his right) of Hagar?

He's in the back row of the right-hand group, sort of just over Alexander's shoulder. Look at Blondie, then Alexander, then keep moving your eyes to the right and you see Blue Guy, then Hagar, then Ziggy, etc. Who's the blue guy?

_That's Shoe. I think it/he use to (at least) be carried in the T.O. Sun on Sundays.
He works as a newspaper chief in a tree with another 'old man' bird writer at a wornout desk.

That's the problem! Shoe is a bird, and this guy doesn't look like a bird to me. He looks more like a Sesame Street muppet monster. Of course, I haven't received a paper with Shoe since I was too young to be interested in reading Shoe, so I don't know it very well.
