Crusty the Cat is a retired Chuck E Cheese's character. He debuted with the rest of the Pizza Time Players in 1977, at the first Pizza Time Theatre location in San Jose, California. He was nicknamed "The Cat's Meow" in singing and joke telling, and was Chuck E.'s right hand man.

The first Crusty animatronic had whiskers, black eyebrows, and taller ears. The animatronic was updated in 1978 and had no whiskers, was given more realistic cat-like eyes and had shorter ears.

He wears a baseball shirt donning the team "Swingers" and has the number 13 on his shirt. His later incarnation holds a red baseball bat in his right hand.

History

After appearing in the first two showtapes, Crusty was replaced by Mr. Munch in 1978, making him the first character to be retired. He was voiced by John Widelock, who also provided the voice for Chuck. Crusty was also voiced in main showtapes by an unknown voice actor (or possibly two). He only appeared in the first two PTT locations.
