In "[[Bart to the Future]]", Arthur Crandall and Gabbo are seen once again, as part of an act for the Native American Casino. Gabbo, when not in use, is simply a dummy. This can imply that his remarks about the children being "S.O.B's" are Arthur Crandall's own, and that Crandall has dissociative identity disorder, expressing one personality through Gabbo.
