The Adventures of Soberman

The Virginia Highway Safety Department published the Soberman comic book in 1979 as a way to encourage teenagers not to drink and drive. Copies of the comic were distributed to 70,000 driver education students.

As far as I can tell, the Soberman comic was a one-time publication. But in 2013 Soberman made an appearance in the flesh. He visited bars in Arlington, Virginia to spread his message of being responsible and having a designated driver when drinking.

With her logo NOT like the Volkswagen logo, On-the-Wagon Woman protects women against drunk driving, beer googles and her arch-nemesis: DR. Roofie.
