History
He first makes a cameo appearance in Lame Joke where Henny Youngman, acting as a doctor, tells Buster that his joke died and he told him that the delivery stinks and that he told the joke wrong. He later makes a non-speaking cameo appearance in Washingtoon where he and Henny were carrying Calamity Coyote on a strecher after he slipped on one banana peel and got knocked out from it.
