Danno Cal Drawings

Daniel ‘Danny’ Sebastian Callihan (born: ), better known online as Danno Cal (also known as Danno Cal Drawings, DannoDraws, or simply Danno), is an American YouTuber who is best known for his animated YouTube Shorts about entertainment news relating to celebrities, YouTubers, movies, TV shows or video games; he also makes history and informative videos relating to Disney movies and other media. 
He uses a rubber hose style rabbit-monkey hybrid (Runkey) named Riggy, whom he describes as his actor/model and partner, very distinctly pointing out that they are not one and the same. It was a running joke in the comments section that Riggy is underpaid and demands a raise, forming the #RAISERIGGY Arc. There is also an expanding lore for the Rabbit Monkey, for a webseries called Toon Turf. (see trivia for more.)
He also uploads on his main channel, simply titled 'Danno', where he uploads longer videos related to commentary, story time, challenges, and formerly gaming, his most viewed video being "Trying To Get The Worst Driving Score Possible." Ironically, a few months after uploading this video, he updated his viewers that he had gotten into his first car accident by hitting a parked car.
He has multiple other channels, including Daily Dose of Danno, where he uploaded lower-effort commentary style videos as well as seemingly random shorts, although, this was replaced by Danno VODS. There's also dear danno., a life advice channel where he uploads more grounded videos talking about personal ideals and issues and replying to mail from viewers about life problems or questions they have, and Danno Cal Craft, a now defunct channel that was used for uploading Minecraft content. It has been replaced by Danno Cal Clips. The channels Danno VODS and Danno Cal Clips are empty with only Danno Cal Clips having links to his other channels. 
Riggy also has his own channel, Riggy The Rabbit Monkey, where the character uploads his own content, and commonly comments on Danno Cal Drawing's shorts, arguing with Danno.
==History==
He started his channel back in 2014 when he was a kid and made gaming videos like Minecraft and Mario. However, he saw little success and eventually slowed, uploading only around once every year simply for fun. Riggy didn't debut until July 1, 2021, when he decided to start making content again, to try and compete with his friend who had 90,000 subscribers, and to have a fresh start. He began making Shorts on his second channel on September 13, 2022, with 'What happens now that Queen Elizabeth is dead?'. This content saw an incredible growth, and after 4 short months he reached 100,000 subscribers. 
Only a month later reached 200,000, and after 7 months on the platform he reached 500,000 subscribers on March 27th, 2023. However, he has stated that he wishes his longer videos on his main channel would be as successful, so he can put all of his effort into that and be satisfied as a creator, although he is thankful for his shorts' performance, and is happy with the audience he has. He has stated that at the moment, he made nearly no money from YouTube, but once YouTube started monetizing Shorts and he was able to earn a substantial living, he would quit his day job and work on YouTube full-time. 
This did eventually happen, as in that same video, he said that he had quit his job and became a full time YouTuber and he is now working on a series called Toon Turf. He also has 3.46m subscribers. (as of August 10, 2024) 
===Shorts Wars: Clone Saga===
Between July 16, to July 30, 2023, in collaboration with Jonny RaZeR, Joe Caine, Phaleur, RoyalPear, Bundun, and Mogswamp, QR codes were scattered across several videos on these channels, including Danno, which showed an unknown person planning to replace those creators with clones, and until July 23, during either livestreams or shorts, Jonny, RoyalPear, Bundun and Danno's character, Riggy, were replaced by these said clones, with Riggy's being very different, while some looked exactly the same. The music in Danno's shorts had the pitch down, and Riggy's clone was becoming more insane and corrupted. 
On July 30, 2023, Danno posted a video which showed both Riggy and his clone in a battle were the clone was defeated. This was one of the last videos of Shorts Wars Season 1. Plans on a second season began being made with a teaser of the same unknown person. Go to the Shorts Wars Wiki for more.
==Riggy Lore==
*Riggy's girlfriend is named Rosey, however she is only a rabbit, instead of a Runkey.
*Riggy's father, Robert, is a monkey, and his mother, Rhonda, is a rabbit. He has a brother, Jordan, who is a runkey as well (a reference to Danno's real life twin brother, JoJo). Riggy also has a younger sister, Molly. She is seemingly a runkey as well, but with monkey ears and a rabbit tail.
*Riggy and Danno have been demonstrated multiple times with a rocky relationship, with Riggy insisting on higher pay, and claiming that he is the star of the Danno Cal Drawings channel, being the sole reason for its success. On the 6th of September, he was given a raise at the announcement of the Riggy Plush. Riggy was paid all of the funds that came from the Riggy Plush.
*Riggy is from a place called Toonville, as showcased in newspaper headlines and the degree on the wall of Horace's office in the short Riggy and Rosey" and later confirmed in the second community post on Riggy's channel.

*Riggy and the Easter Bunny do not get along, as Riggy finds him pretentious and egotistical just because "he can poop candy." This relationship is first mentioned in a comment on "Where Did The Easter Bunny Come From" Riggy explains his plans to confront the Easter Bunny, and throughout the next few shorts, he is seen with a shiner and bandaging, implying that the fight did not go in his favor. On Easter morning, another community post on Riggy's channel showcased the battle between the two toons.
*Riggy now possesses the ability of multiversal travel after the fight between his clone and his experience with the Shorts Wars ARG, being confirmed by Danno in a Q&A livestream after the events of the ARG. He has also been confirmed to have the ability to change his height.
*There's currently an unexplained post on Riggy's Twitter, stating he "feels guilt" for something and he hasn't forgotten about it.
