Close , it is Duke from Doonesbury comic but he was probley modeled from Hunters S Thompson. It was a famous political type cartoon strip by Gary Trudeau. The piece was created from an artist I work with. 

Nixies I don't understand the reference.

The dollar bill was salvaged from the Andrea Doria.

Ah, Doonesbury - I remember it, but haven't seen it for a long time.   I'd forgotten about that character, which does indeed seem to be copied from Thompson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Duke).   Cool 😄

The Nixie valves are in front of the pic - probably a valve clock?
