Dixon is Ms. Tonitini's boyfriend. He is basically a nice, easygoing, and even somewhat 'cool' guy (although he definitely had a few eccentricities), but Tino was often somewhat skeptical whether he would make a good stepfather. He put himself through grad school working as a carpenter. He has a Master's degree in English literature. He used to compete in the Scottish games and competed in the caber toss, and won first place in both the sheep toss and farmer's walk. He also used to design shoes for Tommy Hugo. During the clean-up of an alley by Funville, Dixon stumbles across a comic book, Captain Dreadnought Issue 27 that has the first appearance of sidekick Junior Dreddy, revealing similar interest in Tino's favorite superhero.
