Squirrel Boy is an American animated television series created by Everett Peck for Cartoon Network. Before the show, Peck was known for creating Duckman, which aired on USA Network from 1994 to 1997. The show premiered on May 29, 2006, and ended on September 27, 2007, with a total of 52 eleven-minute episode segments. A series of six shorts were released in 2008 from January 11 to April 10, and aired between commercial breaks as part of the Cartoon Network Extra mini-series.

The series was Everett Peck's final animated production before his death in 2022.

Overview

Squirrel Boy centers on the lives of the titular anthropomorphic squirrel named Rodney (Richard Steven Horvitz), who is full of crazy ideas and get-rich-quick schemes, and his best friend and owner, a boy named Andy Johnson (Pamela Adlon). In the family are Robert (Kurtwood Smith), Andy's pessimistic and unlucky father who utterly dislikes Rodney, and Lucille (Nancy Sullivan), Andy's cheery and mild-tempered mother.

Andy and Rodney are arch-enemies with a rowdy boy named Kyle Finkster (Billy West) and his own anthropomorphic parrot, Salty Mike (Carlos Alazraqui), who are neighborhood bullies and constantly pick on Andy and Rodney. Other characters in the show include Oscar (Jason Spisak), Andy's nerdy human friend with overprotective parents, Leon (Tom Kenny), a stray, blue squirrel who is Rodney's friend and lives in a tree in the Johnsons' backyard, Darlene (Monica Lee Gradischek), a yellow, stray squirrel who is Rodney's love interest, Martha (Eliza Schneider), a nerdy human child prodigy who lives across the street and is Andy's love interest, and Esther Flatbottom, a cranky old lady who rides a motorized cart.
