Self portrait turned into an ad for Friendly's

And I immediately thought—FRIBBLE? THE ROLE PLAYED BY CAPTAIN WILLIAM EDWARD PARRY HIMSELF in his own Royal Arctic Theatre??!

The first performance, a work by Garrick called Miss in Her Teens, was cheered loudly. It was widely agreed that Parry sustained the role of Fribble to perfection. Parry played down his triumph bashfully, 'considering that an example of cheerfulness ... was not the least part of my duty'
