The Monopoly guy is called Mr. Pennybags. Hang around me long enough and you'll pick up all kinds of useless information.
Mustached Bertie in the last couple of illustrations looks more to me like an American scam artist in some movie taking place in the '30s but actually made in the '70s. I do like the way the artist draws all the little girls giving Bertie a hard time though, especially the slightly chunky one with the glasses who clearly finds him hilarious.

Yeah, Machamer's illustrations have a lot of personality and the characters are distinctive looking, which I like. If only they'd been a little more... close to the mark.
