''John Callahan's Quads!'' is a [[InternationalCoproduction Canadian-Australian]] BlackComedy from Creator/{{Nelvana}} created by American cartoonist [[InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt John Callahan]], who was rendered quadriplegic at the age of 21 after a car accident and based the cartoon on his experiences being around other handicapped people. Like most of Callahan's work, it is unapologetic in its warts-and-all portrayal of DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery, as Callahan resented what he saw as the pitying, patronizing attitude of the general population toward the disabled, and only assumed he had gone too far if he received complaints from disabled people rather than the physically able getting outraged on their behalf.

The central character, Reilly O'Reilly, is paralysed for life after being hit by a millionaire's car, and is able to live a life of luxury on the money from the legal settlement. His other friends include a blind man, a man with hooks in place of hands, and a head on a skateboard, and while they can be just as petty and selfish as the physically able, they are united in the face of a world that doesn't seem to know how to treat them. Like much of Callahan's work, it was praised by the disabled community for its DontYouDarePityMe approach to physical handicaps.
