A thinly disguised version of Pete appears in the novel Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit by Gary K. Wolf.
"Black Pete's Blunderbuss" or simply "Blunderbuss" is an alcoholic drink consisting of a Red Bull energy drink mixed with vodka and Jägermeister liquor. The drink has gained popularity in the famed 6th street entertainment district of Austin, Texas. The name was presumably derived from Black Pete's occasional role as a blunderbuss-wielding pirate in both his comic strip and comic book appearances.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
