'Cheech Wizard" was a comic strip that appeared in the US humor 
magazine _National Lampoon_ in the early 1970's, by the late comic 
artist/writer Vaughan Bode'  who I'm not sure was actually on drugs - 
he may have been that spaced-out naturally.

The character Cheech Wizard consisted of a wizard's hat, (and my 
perception of the Sorting Hat may now be forever warped now that I
have commingled Cheech Wizard and Harry Potter in what's left of my 
mind) a pair of legs and feet, and a lump that might be genitals.... 
and a personality as abrasive as Snape's in its own way, but with 
enough humor that he comes off as eccentrically selfish and thus 
slightly, weirdly charming instead of hateful.  Maybe we wind up 
sympathizing with Cheech Wizard just a bit because unlike Snape he 
really IS surrounded by idiots and we too would like to do as Cheech 
does, and kick some of those idiots in the .... in a painful location.
