Carl the Collector has premiered!

"CARL THE COLLECTOR follows the everyday adventures of Carl, a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who enjoys collecting things and loves his friends and family in Fuzzytown. Carl pays extraordinarily close attention to detail and comes up with unique ideas that others might not consider. These traits have helped him amass his extensive collections—from autographs and bottle caps to fake mustaches, pet rocks, sweaters, and virtually everything in between—which can come in handy for solving problems around the neighborhood with his friends."

I designed various locations such as the tree fort, and Carl's living room and kitchen. I'm also the layout supervisor for the production. You can watch the episodes on the PBS Kids website, or if you have a tv channel that has PBS Kids.

First time drawing Carl the Collector!

I've just finished watching the first 14 episodes of the newest PBS Kids show, Carl the Collector, a show about an autistic raccoon named Carl who collects things. It was created by Zachariah OHora and was produced by Fuzzytown Productions in co-production with Spiffy Pictures, while the animation was done by Yowza! in Canada. I gotta say, I think I'm starting to like this show more often since I realized that I also have autism like Carl. Not only that, but I'm shocked that Carl was actually voiced by an autistic child actor. Isn't that crazy? At least I'm glad to see Carl the Collector part of the PBS Kids lineup!

Autistic Characters Being or Wearing Purple (For Autistic Peeps) (Part 3)

I just watched the new PBS Kids show and OMG…

I watched Carl The Collector yesterday and it was absolutely a masterpiece!

So the show follows Carl an autistic raccoon, who collects things and has friends like Sheldon, Lotta (who is also autistic, TWO autistic characters), Nico and Arugula, and Forrest, who I am headcanoning with ADHD because she is so hyper and impulsive.

So my thoughts?

I was absolutely impressed. I am autistic with ADHD, and this show was absolutely amazing. The fact they had not one, but TWO autistic characters? PBS Kids did it again! The friends are all super lovable characters. I really relate to Carl because I have a lot of anxiety, and I do collect a LOT of things. In The Sticker Collection episode, he had his sticker collection in a notebook in the dresser next to his bed, just like mine. And Lotta I relate to because I hate loud noises and I love music. Every little detail was thought out, like when Carl and Lotta stim when nervous (Carl flapping, wiggling fingers, scratching arms, Lotta twirling tail) Sheldon is a super supportive friend and reminds me of my sister.

Overall, definitely worth the wait!

100/10!

I love this show

Did you know that PBS Kids very recently released a show called Carl the Collector with an autistic protagonist voiced by an autistic child with neurodivergent people on the development team? And he has another friend who's autistic! A girl! Also voiced by an autistic child!

I'm not exaggerating when I say Carl is genuinely the best thing I've seen from PBS Kids in YEARS. It showcases autistic traits and coping skills in such an empathetic way. I'm extremely hyped for the show's future. Please check it out if you're on the autistic spectrum or want to understand autism better!

For my day job I am a 2D layout supervisor, and here is the show I've been working on!

I've been thinking about making a sideblog specifically f0r Carl the Collector-related stuff. If you don't know, it is an upcoming cartoon starring an autistic main character and it will premiere next month. As an autistic person, autistic representation is very important to me, and so I thought I could start a little "fanblog" for it where I recap episodes, analyze characters, post a gif or two. Maybe the show's production team will somehow notice me. However, I don't know if it will gain a lot of traction. Maybe I'll just get 5 notes max per post. I'm trying to decide whether I should make the blog at all

Welcome to littleraccooncarl, a blog centered around the show, Carl the Collector, which is set to premiere on November 14.

"CARL THE COLLECTOR follows the everyday adventures of Carl, a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who enjoys collecting things and loves his friends and family in Fuzzytown. Carl pays extraordinarily close attention to detail and comes up with unique ideas that others might not consider. These traits have helped him amass his extensive collections—from autographs and bottle caps to fake mustaches, pet rocks, sweaters, and virtually everything in between—which can come in handy for solving problems around the neighborhood with his friends."

As an autistic person myself, autistic representation is very important to me, so I want to spread the word about the show and provide episode recaps, character analysis, etc. This blog isn't affiliated with PBS or anyone involved with making the show. This is an unofficial fanblog run by me, @volleypearlfan
