Trivia

- In "The News," however, he appears as an anthropomorphic newspaper.
- His appearance in "The Law" differs from his other human appearances; in that episode, he has a mustache and a different haircut.
- In "The News," he forgets and/or mispronounces his own last name multiple times.
- His surname “Schlezinger” is a reference to Leon Schlesinger, the producer of Looney Tunes series.
