Who is this comedian???

trying to find out the name of this comedian. I heard him on the radio this morning. I think he was around in the 80's and 90's. He wears sunglasses usually and sort of looks/sounds like a hippy. Talks kinda slow. Told a joke about hating turtle-neck shirts and those shirts feeling like a weak guy trying to strangle you all day long and if you had a backpack on it would feel like a midget trying to strangle you. Do you know who this guy is? He was pretty popular as I recall but I can't remember his name! Do you know?

I found him to be a bit of a rip on Emo and Steven Wright who were doning that same type of comedy long before Mitch.
