Ok. For this I have to give some more initial clues, I guess - the quality of the picture(s) is pretty bad. Sorry for that.
- This game character who we look for, starred first on arcade.
- The screenshots show the character of the C64 version in its usual movement cycle.

Second hint(s):
The depicted character was the main character in a now 35 year old game on the C64.
On the arcade he is even one year older.
Notice the coloring of the character?
That's because - originally - the playable character was supposed to be a famous merry man.
After the theme of the game got changed to play another - equally famous, yet less merry - literary character, the developers decided to simply keep the graphics that they got so far.
