Dandy Jim is a hobo, who notably wears a tophat, often hanging out at Bumbase Alpha. He is often seen alongside his friend and fellow hobo, Gus.
He first appears during The 30% Iron Chef, in which he and Gus invite a now homeless Bender Bending Rodríguez to ride the space train to Bumbase Alpha. Dandy Jim is seen again in Three Hundred Big Boys, in which he partakes in a turkey dog feast hosted by John A. Zoidberg. Dandy Jim appears, without Gus, during Law and Oracle, where he is seen in Circuit City. While Philip J. Fry and URL are pursuing Erwin Shrödinger, Dandy Jim decides to urinate on the electric fence left behind their light cycles.
