Mr. Morris

John Morris (aka Mr. Morris) was the janitor for Lakewood Elementary School for the first seven seasons of Arthur. He did it for free. In "April 9th", the school was damaged by a fire and Mr. Morris broke his leg. Because of his leg, he retired and moved to New Mexico, onto his daughter's ranch. Though he moved in Season 7, he made a couple of non-speaking appearances in episodes like "Francine's Pilfered Paper." In the Postcards from Buster episode "Alien Adventure" he appears when Buster visits Roswell, New Mexico. He appears in a flashback in the Postcards From Buster episode "Coming Together." The flashback reused a part of "April 9th," when Buster goes to visit him in the hospital.

In "Strangers on a Train," Mr. Morris is seen in a green uniform, appearing to be working as a janitor for the train station, implying that he worked there at some point.

It is said that he used to be a dog groomer, he can speak Portuguese, and he likes to play his accordion named Beatrice.
