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