([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere]]'') He lived through the heights of {{w|Macaroni (fashion)|macaroni}} fashion, though he never partook himself, and he also lived through the 1970s, during which he ''did'' wear bell bottoms. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') [[Haroun the Thrice Cursed]] considered him worth paying his respects to, and seemed to know of his true nature, whatever it was. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') David once stated that he “never had the pleasure, [him]self” of having a father, in a manner suggesting that he had not merely grown up without knowing his father but genuinely had never had one at a sheer biological level.

When she suffered from [[shifter hangover]], Jenny dropped in on David to warn him that things might become especially strange around her in the immediate future — with David reacting with wry amusement at the idea that Jenny's life could get any stranger than it already was. She also gave him Haroun's regards. A little later, while Jenny was beginning to recover, David spoke with Kim about what he'd learned about Jenny. Their chatting awoke the napping Jenny, who began to tell them about a few more of the alternative lifetimes she'd remembered due to the hangover, ending with an impromptu ''a cappella'' performance of a preposterous disco song known to a [[#1970s Jenny|1970s Jenny]].

He was driving by with just such a cargo when Kim and Jenny picked up the broken [[dream spinner]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]], which was blocking the driveway in the parking lot. After parking, David headed back into the building alongside Kim with what he had bought. This included a number of pastrami sandwiches, some of which were shared between Jenny's friends and the extradimensional visitors.

Kim once told Eric that David had a story he could tell Eric that would serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of building a girlfriend for oneself, something Kim was afraid the budding mad scientist might try to do. She noted that Eric had better wait until he was older to ask David for the story, and also that it wasn't Kim's story to share.
