	Pelswick!
		Pelswick's a show about what it's like to be a kid right now.
		It was created by John Callahan, a famous cartoonist who tends towards the sarcastic and likes to let the air out of the world when it gets too full of itself.
		But that doesn't stop him from cracking people up on a regular basis, expressing his creativity through cartooning, playing sports or getting in heaps of trouble with his two best friends, Ace Nakamura and Goon Gunderson.

	Pelswick [Animated TV Series] - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Pelswick is an animated comedy series for children with a very unusual lead character -- Pelswick Eggert (voice of Robert Tinkler), a 13-year-old boy who is confined to a wheelchair.
		As Pelswick and his pals Goon (voice of Peter Oldring) and Ace (voice of Phil Guerrero) deal with the typical trials and tribulations of being a kid, Pelswick is often daunted by the fact that he lives in San Francisco, whose hills make life tricky when you have to roll from place to place.
		Pelswick was created by John Callahan, a cartoonist whose work often casts a darkly satiric eye at the issues of the handicapped (Callahan himself is paralyzed from the shoulders down).

	Xpress: Rudeness is real handicap for cartoon
		Pelswick Eggert is a 13-year-old boy at Alcatraz Junior High, just like other junior high kids, except for one thing: He is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair.
		In the first episode, Pelswick is the victim of a trick played by the school bully, Boyd Scullarzo.
		The best line is where Pelswick corrects Boyd's attempt to insult him and says that he is not a cripple; he is "permanently seated." Kate is quite the junior photographer and turns out to be a big help in solving her brother's problems.

		Pelswick, the lead character, has the potential to become a powerful role model for children of all abilities.
		Pelswick does not view himself as a "cripple." He prefers to be considered as "permanently seated." There is some good humor about that in each episode aired so far.
		About the critics who think Pelswick's real time humor takes away from "the important point the show was trying to make." I think it is actually the critics and TIME who are completely missing the point.

	Corpus Christi Caller-Times Ricardo Baca, media critic
		Pelswick doesn’t understand a world that treats him differently because he’s not exactly the same as everyone.
		By treating Pelswick differently that would only reinforce the fact that he’s different from everybody, but really he’s fine with just fitting in and abiding by the same rules as everyone else.
		Callahan relies on exposition to express his views to a point with Pelswick, but he also has no problem having the eighth-grader tell it like it is. For example, Pelswick could sneak around the issue of not liking to get preferential treatment, but instead Pelswick comes out boldly telling people not to treat him differently.

		Pelswick Eggert is a 13-year-old 8th grader with a sharp tongue, a healthy suspicion of authority and a complete lack of fear.
		But the point is that Pelswick is just like any other 13-year-old when it comes to being independent, disaster-prone, mixed-up, and plugged into everyday pop culture.
		Pelswick's home life is dominated by his fiercely-protective (and totally insane) Gram-Gram, as well as his politically correct father Quentin, who will go to any length to avoid offending anyone.
