My wife and I recently noticed the similarity between the character name Burton Guster and the name of the author Norton Juster. Juster's most famous works are The Dot and the Line, and The Phantom Tollbooth. Juster has a silly sense of humor that's a lot like the wit used in Psych, so it's easy to imagine that the show's creators came up with "Burton Guster" as an homage. But of course, it's also possible that it's just a coincidence... Anyone know how we might find out if the similarity is intentional?

Hi Bubba here, ...
I did not know that. I don't know how to find how out though.
