Drooley Davey first appears in the Wide World of Elmyra episode segment, Drooley Davey as the main protagonist. His parents were out for the evening and left Elmyra Duff in charge as his babysitter, much to his dismay. After his parents leave, Davey is chased around his house by Elmyra. She trips over his high chair, causing a bowl full of baby food to land on him, getting him very dirty. The first time she tries to bathe Davey, she uses too much bubble bath and he floats away in a bubble, which pops and he falls down the chimney (Elmyra asks if he was playing Santa Claus).
