Scott "Scotty" Douglas is a first grader from Rowley's karate class. He was going to do a magic act in the Talent Show with Rowley as his assistant, but after Greg broke Rowley's big toe, he had to fill in for Rowley. Greg complained about being a magician's assistant to Scotty, but Susan said he'd love to do it. Scotty also made him wear a sparkly outfit. In the end, Greg used the incident for Creighton the Cretin comics. In the tryouts, their act is the only one not to make the auditions. Scotty looks oddly like Creighton the Cretin, Greg's comic book character. In the fifth book, he wins the Peachy Breeze Ad competition and becomes the new Peachy Breeze kid, but Greg thinks its not good to take him because he thinks he will get a gross look like his elder brother when he grows up.
