Pelswick

John Callahan's Pelswick (or simply Pelswick) is a chidlren's animated comedy television series based on the comic books by John Callahan for CBC and Nickelodeon. It was co-produced by Nelvana Limited and Suzhou Hong Ying Animation Company Limited. Based on Callahan's comics, the series is about the title character, a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair, emphasizing that he lived a normal life. Callahan's dark humor was toned down somewhat, allowing the show to have a positive and life-affirming attitude appropriate for its audience. The series was groundbreaking for its portrayal of physically disabled people. In the United States, the series premiered on Nickelodeon and was billed as an original series on the network, despite not being part of Nicktoons.

The show aired in reruns on CBS during the Nick on CBS block from September 14 to November 23, 2002, and on Nick's digital spinoff Nicktoons from May 2002 to early 2005. In 2004, a poll on Funimation's website revealed that they held the DVD rights to Pelswick, but failed to materialize and years later, they added to all of streaming services, such as Tubi and Pluto TV. The show airs in reruns on Adult Swim in Canada as of early 2021.
