An elderly Quick Draw lives at a retirement home for old cartoon stars in the I Am Weasel episode "I Am My Lifetime."

Harvey Birdman Represents
In "The Dabba Don," he's one of the severed heads delivered to Harvey by Fred Flintstone.

This death is later contradicted when he appears formally in "Guitar Control," when he is put under trial for using a "concealed weapon" (aka a guitar) as El Kabong while trying to stop some bad guys. He sounds like Charlton Heston.

Wacky Races (2017) cameo
Quick Draw makes a cameo in the Wacky Races (2017 TV series) episode "Much Ado About Wacky"" During the fight scene in the Macbeth play, Penelope Pitstop calls for a horse. Quick Draw appears and charges into battle shouting his famous line "hold on there Baba Louis." This angers Snagglepuss who is also cameoing in this episode, as Quick Draw is not even an actor.

Everyone's Back in Jellystone!
In "El Kabong's Kabong is Gone," the Banana Splits break Susan, El Kabong's guitar, preventing him from stopping their crimes.

In the Deathstroke/Yogi Bear Special, he's one of the animals captured at the end of the issue.

In Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles, Quick Draw is a closeted police officer who is involved with the raiding of Stonewall. After losing his job after being caught with another man and losing his lover Huckleberry Hound to suicide, he becomes a cartoon artist and offers Snagglepuss a job at his animation studio.

Scooby-Doo teams up with Quick Draw
In the Scooby-Doo Team Up issue "Go West, You Meddling Kids", Quick Draw, as El Kabong teams up with the Mystery Inc to take down The Fastest Ghost in the West, which turns out to be Ricochet Rabbit.

Quick Draw Sells Out
Quick Draw makes a cameo in the Samurai Jack episode "Couple on a Train." Baba Looey informs him that a fight is about to commence on the train. Quick Draw states that no one will be fighting on this train as long as the two of them were around. He is then shot in his hat, covering his eyes. He assumes that it's already time for bed due to how dark it is under his hat.

In the Class of 3000 episode "Home", he's appears on the many cartoon stations, speaking in different languages as the channel is changed. For this cameo, he is voiced by Tom Kenny.

Behind the scenes

 * According to a 1982 calendar, he was born on November 21st.
 * The studio behind The Flintstones: On the Rocks were working on a Quick Draw McGraw special of the same vain as their last work, being allowed more creative freedom as Hanna-Barbera wasn't super protective of Quick Draw. However, the project was scrapped as the studio couldn't be bothered to finish the special. A full storyboard of the special exists but nothing has been found beyond that.
 * Quick Draw, among the other canned Hanna Barbera characters, was planned for the film SCOOB! Early concept art shows him chilling at Blue Falcon's sauna.
 * Judging by this storyboard of a scrapped scene from the Jellystone! episode "Grocery Store," Quick Draw had been planned to appear in the series but was changed to be just El Kabong mid production. The reason was made unclear.
 * In the Spanish dub of Quick Draw McGraw, Quick Draw was renamed to Tiro Loco McGraw and speaks in a very American influenced accent. El Kabong in the dub is El Cabazorro, or the Zorro Horse.
 * Similarly, in the Brazilian bub, Quick Draw is renamed Pepe Legal and speaks in drawn out Portuguese.
 * For Jellystone!, El Cabazorro dons a Spanish Accent.
