## Biography

Gus made his first appearance in "Cleveland Moves In", when Tim, Lester, and Holt took Cleveland to The Broken Stool for the first time. Gus served them their beer and the four of them partied and had a good time. Even Gus got in on the fun and became friends with them.

In "Brawl in the Family", The Guys are back at the bar and Gus serves them their beer.

In "Birth of a Salesman", Gus gives Tim a steak, after Cleveland, Lester, and Holt buy one fore him.

In "Good News Bear", Gus gives Cleveland some not-so-helpful advice about running his family, when he hears about how Roberta is doing drugs. He says that if he wants to get Roberta off of drugs, he should get her addicted to alcohol instead and offers to look the other way if she's underage and orders beer from his bar.

In "Love Rollercoaster", Gus mentions how good of an idea "The Rollercoaster" is and how much it would help him around the bar.

In "The Curious Case of Jr. Working at the Stool", Cleveland gets Junior a job, working at The Broken Stool, with connections to Gus. Junior does a great job working there and he gives Gus a lot of good advice about how to run his restaurant.

In "Junior's New Class", The Guys get crazy drunk one night and completely destroy The Broken Stool. Gus makes them pay for the damage.

In "I'm a Midnight Joker", Gus hosted a late-night comedy club that Donny was a part of.

In "Beer Walk!", Gus hosted a beer-drinking party for charity.

In "Frapp Attack!", Gus bartended while Tori was jammin' with The Guys.

In "The Hurricane", Gus bolts down The Broken Stool and barricades the windows and doors to prepare for Hurricane Flozelle.

## Appearance

Gus is a late-adult Caucasian male who is modeled after David Lynch. He has a rather sculpted face with great details that fit the mold of Lynch's iconic celebrity face. He has a full head of shiny, wavy gray hair that has silver stripes on it and he has thick gray eyebrows. He wears a white buttoned shirt with a black bartender vest, a white apron, dark tan pants, and black shoes.

## Personality

Gus is a nice old bartender, who is on good terms with The Guys. He's rather laid back and chill and never gets mad about anything, even when The Guys destroy his bar, which only makes it even more terrifying for The Guys on the rare occasions when he does get mad. Gus acts like a David Lynch archetype. He is very weird and random and often pulls a bunch of goofy non-sequitur gags out of his ass.
