He appeared once more in D.W.'s story in "I'd Rather Read It Myself", where he gave a military funeral for Spanky the eagle.

He had a small cameo in the James Hound movie in "Arthur Makes a Movie."

In Arthur's Perfect Christmas, D.W. claimed to the Tibble Twins that her letter to Santa Claus was actually being mailed to the President of the United States, leading them to wonder if he was the one who delivered the gifts.

Trivia

• His original 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.
• He said that he likes horses, when asked by D.W.
• He talks with a southern American accent.
• Although the Secret Service guards are all over the White House in "D.W. Goes to Washington," they are not with him in any of his other appearances, mostly because he is only in cameos after his debut.
