Appearances
In "Lisa Gets an "A"" he was sent to deliver the basic assistance grant Springfield Elementary earned after Lisa cheating on a test brought the school's GPA up to the state's minimum requirement. In fact he was initially impersonated by Otto. He appeared later in "Saddlesore Galactica," where he moderated the elementary school band competition at the state fair. He planned to give Lisa the unusually large good sportsmanship award until he heard her call the first-placed band "cheaters" for using glowsticks in their performance, at which point he said, "Now I'm just going to be sick."
During the riot scene in The Simpsons Movie, he can be seen in the crowd.
Origin
Comptroller Atkins is named after assistant to the producers Jaqueline Atkins.
