Bo Baxter is the father of Buster and ex-husband of Bitzi. He is a pilot. In "Arthur's Faraway Friend," Buster goes traveling with him all around the world up until the first episode of season three, "Buster's Back." Currently he is the private pilot of a band that is on tour called Los Viajeros. He flies them around North America and a variety of other places. Although he and Bitzi are divorced in the series, they are married in the books, but only Bitzi has appeared in the book Arthur's First Sleepover. Bo is mentioned in Arthur's New Puppy and Arthur's Christmas.

Physical appearance[]

Original appearance[]

Bo is originally only seen in photographs and brief cameo appearances, in which he wears a pilot uniform that consists of a teal hat, a white long-sleeved top, teal pants with a belt buckle, and gray loafers. In these early appearances, his face resembles an aged version of Buster with an elongated head shape, but in many cases, his face is hidden from view altogether. While having this appearance, he only speaks once in the series, at the end of the episode "Arthur's Faraway Friend."

Change of appearance[]

In the Season 8 episode, "Postcards from Buster," Bo is redesigned to have more distinct details that seem more human-like, including a cleft chin, almond-shaped eyes, bold eyebrows, and a less round face, along with glasses, longer hair, a slightly tanner complexion, and floppy rabbit ears. This appearance is only used in one episode.

In the Postcards from Buster spin-off series, Bo's appearance is drastically modified again. His hairstyle is a very short brown buzz-cut (with a notable cut around where human ears would be), brown eyebrows, human-like nose, and a different pair of rounded-rectangular framed glasses. His rabbit ears are pointed upward instead of floppy. This updated appearance is maintained for the duration of the spin-off and all subsequent cameo appearances in Arthur, Season 9 and onward.

Trivia[]

  • The character was created when Daniel Brochu, the voice of Buster, decided to take a sabbatical in Australia in 1997. As the studio did not want to replace him with a new voice actor, Buster was written as having traveled the world with his pilot father.
  • He and Bitzi got divorced when Buster was four. Arthur mentions this in "1001 Dads."
  • His place of residence while not traveling is not clearly stated.
