I looked around but couldn't find it. I did find a few images on Google that looked like they might have been used to create the Wutchuck. If anyone knows, I think it must be Cash. He was always very fond of the Wutchuck.

When you get fluoride treatments, you are not supposed to ingest it. Check out your toothpaste tube and see the warning under drug facts; "Don't swallow. If you do swallow, contact the Poison Control Center."
