I see from other posts that the expected answer is "Beetle Bailey".
However, Wilmer is actually also a correct answer, although maybe not
a pub in Toronto. This is one of the names the comic has been published as
in Sweden. The other, and the more commonly used name is Knasen. Since
that name is obviously a Swedish adaption, I went for Wilmer in the
vain hope that was the original name.
I don't really expect any points, and I don't care too much - it's only
a game! But at least, I've held my speech of defense! (And showed that
for once I did have a clue, and did not just guess wildly.)

In the game Trivial Pursuit, I started using Pope Pius XII as my
default answer. My sister picked up on the habit -- except, alas,
when answering a question about the Vatican in World War II.
