BUSTER WITWICKY has inherited none of his family's mechanical aptitude, but what he lacks in mechanical know-how, he more than compensated in the literary realm. A successful author, he has brought small fame to the Witwicky name, to the pride of his working-class father. The normally-humble Buster can be a little arrogant about his writing, but generally has a good head on his shoulders, and gets along well with his wife and manager Jesse Witwicky.
