Bert's buddy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ernie

'bert's buddy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ernie that I've seen before include "Sergeant Bilko, for one" , "Boy" , "It picks Premium Bond winners" , "Premium Bonds selection computer" , "Els, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The Star Tribune.
