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.

Samurai Jack
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.
