Trivia

• Luke and Patrick are seen one time in Mr. Ratburn's class in "Team Trouble."
• In earlier seasons Luke was depicted as a third grader and was even in Mrs. Fink's class. In later seasons he has never been seen in Mrs. Fink's class and is now a fourth grader.
• He is seen in the intro of the show along with several other kids including the main characters.
• In the episode "Team Trouble," he breaks the fourth wall by waving toward the viewers through the window in the cafeteria, while Buster and Arthur are talking to Francine.
• The inside of his house was revealed during the episode "Sue Ellen Moves In" while he talks to the other kids on the phone about Sue Ellen. It appears that he is talking on the phone via the living room as part of the frame for a picture is seen. The wall is also dark green colored.
