Behind the scenes

 * His original televised appearance was based on Bill Clinton, the president at the time of the show's premiere. His appearance changes depending on who is currently president. In a later appearance, he was a rabbit-person similar in looks and speaking accent to George W. Bush, in Buster's fantasy. Most recently in a fantasy of Arthur's, he reverted back to his original Clinton-esque appearance, but with a darker complexion similar to Barack Obama.
