Who is the Threadbare Excuse from the phantom tollbooth?

The Threadbare Excuse is a character from Norton Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth." He is depicted as a shabby, worn-out figure who represents the concept of making excuses. When Milo encounters him, the Threadbare Excuse embodies the idea that people often use excuses to avoid taking responsibility or action. His presence serves as a reminder of the importance of facing challenges rather than relying on justifications for inaction.
