Characters
Main
The main characters, from left to right: Sumo, Jeff, and Clarence
Clarence Wendle (voiced by Skyler Page
(episodes 1–32 and 35–36) and Spencer Rothbell (episodes 33–34 and 37–130)) – An overweight, extroverted, optimistic, and wide-eyed 10-year-old boy who wants to bring out the best in everything and everyone. In the pilot episode, he was the "new kid" in Aberdale and could not wait to make friends. He more often than not listens to and follows his heart, reacting toward life with unfailing excitement and enthusiasm. A " nice guy " at heart, Clarence aspires to help people, especially his fellow kids, have fun and live freely, often by using unorthodox methods to do so. He can, however, occasionally let his imagination get the better of him, and has a bad habit of meddling into people's personal lives. Clarence has a wide range of interests and hobbies, and despite sometimes coming off as a goofball, he more often than not displays an underlying intelligence.
Jeffrey "Jeff" Randell (voiced by Sean Giambrone ) – Clarence's best friend who is intelligent, levelheaded, and morally inclined of the trio and tries his best to prevent Clarence from going down a bad road. Jeff's most well-known trait is that he has a cube-shaped head which represents his "square" personality. He is an avid fan of game shows and enjoys playing along with them.
Ryan "Sumo" Sumouski (voiced by Tom Kenny ) – Clarence's best friend, who is fearless, unpredictable, and often takes drastic and crude measures when trying to solve problems. Despite this often being a drawback, Sumo is loyal to Jeff and Clarence and available when they need support. He and Jeff tend to quarrel with each other due to their opposing personalities, but Clarence acts as the glue that holds the boys' friendships together. In the third season, Sumo was transferred to the new school called West Aberdale.
Mary Wendle (voiced by Katie Crown) – Clarence's mother who is always there to support her son no matter the difficulty. She lives with her boyfriend Chad and her son Clarence. It is revealed In "Hurricane Dilliss" she has an overbearing mother (now deceased) which makes her very annoyed by her taking over her life, and that she has been seeing a therapist for 15 years. She is 37 years old.
Charles "Chad" Caswell III (voiced by Eric Edelstein ) – Mary's boyfriend who works at various odd-jobs and acts as Clarence's father figure (Although Clarence mostly calls him Chad). Also has a fondness for guitar playing and rock music. He is 36 years old.
Supporting
Ms. Melanie Baker (voiced by Katie Crown) – The children's 5th grade teacher at Aberdale Elementary School who is shown to be helpful and caring, yet easily overwhelmed.
Belson Noles (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) – The resident bully, who is more likely to use insults and quips rather than use physical violence. Selfish, inconsiderate, spoiled, obese, lazy, a show-off, and very superficial, Belson is rather unpopular among his peers, yet Clarence is the only one that likes him, though the same can't be said for him. Belson is also prone to envy , as he is aggravated by the fact that Clarence is the "popular kid" at Aberdale Elementary School and has occasionally tried to ruin his reputation. He is also named after Nelson Boles, who helped create the series. He likely takes after his father, who appears in "Company Man" because they both show a desire for complete control over others (the father over his employees, to Belson over the kids).
Kimberly "Kimby" Knutson (voiced by Isabella Niems) – Another of Clarence's classmates. Kimby is shown as an introverted, awkward, insecure, yet lovely girl who constantly plays with her hair. As a girly girl , Kimby often collects dolls and stuffed animals, enjoys giving and receiving makeovers, and listens to
boy bands.
Malessica (voiced by Ivy Bishop) – One of Kimby's friends who is the object of Jeff's affection. She plays the electric guitar, as revealed in "Turtle Hats".
Courtlin (voiced by Tayler Buck) – Another of Kimby's friends. She has a confident personality and isn't afraid to speak her mind.
Nathan Springfellow (voiced by Skyler Page
(2014–15) and Damien Haas (2015–18)) – One of Belson's friends. He's a big guy who is considered dim-witted. He becomes friends with Clarence as well, often participating in his escapades.
Dustin Conway (voiced by Kyle Arem) – Another one of Clarence's classmates and Belson's friends, who is a karate aficionado. He later becomes friends with Clarence.
Percy Dahmer (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) – A short, wimpy boy who speaks in a weak voice and is friends with Clarence and Belson. He lacks fingers.
Breehn Weinberg (voiced by Joshua Rush) – One of the intelligent kids in class who is more of Jeff's friend than Clarence's, and keeps himself well grounded at all times. However, in later episodes he warms up to Clarence and joins him on some of his misadventures. He becomes a better friend of Clarence, and lets loose when with him.
Chelsea Keezheekoni (voiced by Grace Kaufman ) – A plucky and outspoken girl who insists that she is superior to any boy, mainly Sumo. She and Sumo have shared a kiss in Clarence, Jeff and Sumo's treehouse in "Too Gross For Comfort".
Joshua "Josh" Maverick (voiced by Brent Popolizio) – A grumpy teenager who doesn't like children, especially Sumo, and later Clarence. He is shown to be very accident prone and constantly gets severe injuries during every one of his appearances.

Production
At their 2013 upfront, Clarence was announced along with various other series.[3] The series was created by Page, a former storyboard artist for Adventure Time and revisionist for Secret Mountain Fort Awesome .[4] He is the fourth creator on the network who graduated from the
California Institute of the Arts , [5] and at age 24, he is also the youngest. [6] As part of their shorts development program in 2012, the series was developed at Cartoon Network Studios; four others, Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall , We Bare Bears and Long Live the Royals also came from this initiative. [7]
Page, together with creative director Nelson Boles, conceived the series at CalArts. It was further considered when Page became hired at Cartoon Network Studios. A crew of two or three polished the pilot episode; after it had been picked up, a crew of 30 to 35 writers, storyboard artists, revisionists, colorists and designers were employed. Meanwhile, animation is outsourced to South Korea through the Saerom Animation .[8] :20 Page explained that the hardest part of production was keeping pace, especially where once an episode is completed, one must start over. He called this "exciting", but "very challenging". [8] :21
According to writer Spencer Rothbell, the series was created with a naturalistic tone, similar to cartoons of the 1990s, combined with a more modern feeling. Given this naturalism, writers can reference works that have inspired for them or fit the genre of an episode. He ultimately felt that it was about "empowering kids and having fun". [9] Rothbell also avoids "pigeonholing" into one type of story, and that while some plots are mostly character-driven, others are "based on one idea that we think is really funny". [10] Inspiration also came from the shows Page watched as a child, which invoked more poignant and relatable situations. Despite this, elements of fantasy are allowed, and that conveying both incongruous to one another was one technique he particularly enjoyed. Boles noted that the art direction called for inconsistent character design to avoid having to fit model sheet with the universe perfectly—a result of what he dubs the Simpsons effect .[8] :20 Attention is also paid to background characters in order to expand variety in its plot and
universe .[8] :20–21
Crossover
Clarence, Jeff, Sumo, and Belson appeared in "The Grampies", the short accompanying the
Uncle Grandpa episode "Pizza Eve", along with other Cartoon Network characters from currently running and ended cartoons. Belson had a speaking role in that short. [11]
In the Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Boredom", Clarence and Mary make an appearance, alongside Uncle Grandpa and
Regular Show characters.
In the end of the Steven Universe/ Uncle Grandpa crossover episode, " Say Uncle ", UG looks over the list of characters from former and current Cartoon Network shows and saw Clarence is the last on his list.
Page's firing
In July 2014, Skyler Page was fired from Cartoon Network Studios due to cases of sexual harassment. [12][13][14] A Cartoon Network spokesperson confirmed that the series would continue despite his absence. [15] Spencer Rothbell later became head of story and the voice of Clarence. [16]
Showrunners
After Page was fired from the series, Nelson Boles, who was previously the series creative director, served as series showrunner for the remainder of the first season. Stephen P. Neary, one of the storyboard artists for the series, took over as showrunner for the second season and onward after Boles left the series early in the second season. [17]
Cancellation
On April 4, 2017, Spencer Rothbell confirmed that the series' third season would be its last as Cartoon Network did not renew the series for a fourth season, [18] which ended on June 24, 2018.

Broadcast and reception
Clarence was originally previewed at the 2013
San Diego Comic-Con International .[19] Cartoon Network had commissioned twelve quarter-hour episodes, with the pilot episode airing after the
Hall of Game Awards show on February 17, 2014. [7] The pilot was nominated for an " Outstanding Short-format Animated Program " at the 65th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in 2013. [20][a] The first episode, broadcast April 14, 2014, was met with an estimated 2.3 million viewers, outperforming shows in its same demographic in the time slot by double and triple digit percentages. Meanwhile, preliminary data identified it as the most watched series premiere for the network that year. [21]
In Canada, Clarence premiered on Cartoon Network on April 14[22] and on Teletoon on September 4, but it was later moved exclusively to Cartoon Network. [23][24] The series premiered on October 6 on Cartoon Network in Australia and New Zealand[25][26] and on November 3 on Cartoon Network in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[27] In India, the series debuted on June 1, 2015 on Cartoon Network .[28] The last 13 episodes of the series aired first in Germany before airing in the United States. [29]
In a three-star review, Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media alerted parents of "a similar brand of absurdity and crudeness" as Adventure Time—though less severe—but praised the cast as "oddly likable". [30] Nancy Basile of About.com applauded the dialogue for its lengthiness, and considered the relationships between the characters to be dynamic and genuine, with some comedy thrown in. [31] Whitney Matheson of USA Today found Clarence to blend optimism and surreal humor in "just the right amount", and encouraged children and parents alike to watch its premiere. [32] In Animation Magazine , Mercedes Milligan described it as "a breath of fresh suburban air" and a celebration of childhood. [8] :20 Nivea Serrao of TV Guide contrasted the show with most fantasy animated series. [9] Brian Lowry of Variety called it "so quirky and idiosyncratic as to feel fresh", although it sometimes tread in "well-worn territory", but found the character designs unattractive. [33]
The series gained considerable press after featuring a gay couple in the episode "Neighborhood Grill", with coverage in various tabloid and entertainment news sites, [b] and in
LGBT -oriented sites as well. [c] The scene involves two male characters greeting each other with kisses on the cheek while at a restaurant. Rothbell originally had the couple kiss on the lips after receiving flowers from the other, but this went unapproved by the network. He added that the scene was a "minor throwaway moment", albeit "better than nothing", and anticipated that "one day the main character can be gay and it won't be a big deal". [36] Joe Morgan of Gay Star News called the buildup to the scene "an old joke", [41] a notion shared by Dan Tracer of Queerty , although he praised their portrayal "just as normal people". [42]
In 2017, the Kenya Film Classification Board banned Clarence , together with the cartoon series The Loud House , The Legend of Korra , Hey Arnold! , Steven Universe and Adventure Time , from being broadcast in Kenya. According to the Board, the reason was that these series were "glorifying homosexual behavior". [43]
