- The character is known to more or less growl than speak, his dialogue is quite short in most of his appearances.
- Gus is known to be Betty Boop's friend, but he likes to take things by force and is known to go on rampages when things do not go his way.
- In The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, he is depicted as a stuffed toy and wants to take Betty Boop's head.

- He also demonstrates a tender side in the conclusion of The Herring Murder Case, when he escapes from custody, takes a handkerchief, and exclaims, "Whoops, my dear." However, in Dizzy Dishes, Gus is seen wearing women's underpants with a frilly garter—possibly for humorous effect—after being turned upside down by Bimbo with his tiny train.
