"Why am I talking to a cow?"

**Todd** is the main protagonist of the upcoming JPW Pictures animated feature film, *Wayside School*. He is a transfer student at Wayside School who is in Mrs. Jewls' class. He often gets into trouble due to not being used to the wackiness that the school possesses.

He was voiced by Rod Harrison.

## Personality

Todd is a new student to Wayside School, and generally has to play the straight-man to its different oddities. While initially excited to attend the school, he has difficulty adapting to the strange behaviors of the other students and ultimately the off-beat ilk of the school itself. He often gets in trouble without realizing, due to the strange rules of the school, which leads to him getting sent home early on the kindergarten bus. In contrast to the books, Todd is somewhat pessimistic, as being sent home on the kindergarten bus reminds him of an instance in the past when he failed to rescue a kindergartener's stuffed animal.

Todd has owned a few good friendships at Wayside School, most notably with Maurecia, Dana, and Myron, but oftentimes he finds their presence a bit bothersome due to their differences. While on good terms, Todd often has difficulties understanding their erratic behaviors, and gets lost because of it. Todd is a very forwards-thinking and logical person, and occasionally responds to the strange behaviors of his classmates with a sarcastic attitude, as seen in episodes like "Wayside Christmas" and "Sideways Protest."

While he does appreciate Wayside School to some degree, Todd occasionally takes matters into his hands to "fix" the school, particularly notable in *Wayside: The Movie* and "Principles of Principals." However, most of these changes are to improve the quality of life for students around him as well, as the chaotic structure of the school can oftentimes be harmful, causing things like exposed restrooms and classrooms where the ceiling is placed so low that no one can raise their hands. Todd is clever in his means of fixing these things, often thinking through solutions that are beneficial to everyone in the environment. While the Principal for a Day contest was mostly created by Mr. Kidswatter as a means of dumping his work on someone else, Todd took the opportunity to help everyone around him.

## Physical Appearance

Todd is a student with fair skin, a somewhat round head, and red hair. He has an average-sized nose and a noticeable gap in his teeth that often sticks out of his mouth. He wears a short-sleeved blue shirt and a long sleeved white undershirt, along with khaki pants, and red shoes with white lines. In the episode "He is It!," Myron claims Todd is about four feet tall.

## Appearances

### *Wayside: The Movie*

He is first shown outside his house, looking at his watch, realizing he's late, he makes a dash for it, he gets to the school after having to take the stairs in order to get to the 30th story, he is later slapped by Maurecia after trying to focus on his work.

## Trivia

* Although JPW never read the books, Todd would have been the first main protagonist to be from a book.
* He was confirmed to reappear in a potential revival of the film, where he will be playing the main protagonist.
* It is widely believed that he has feelings for Maurecia.
	+ Despite denying his feelings for Maurecia, in the episode of Rat In Shining Armor where he was jealous of the Armor kid (only to be Sammy the dead rat inside it) and somehow Maurecia thought Todd was the Shining armor. This suggest that Todd really likes Maurecia, possibly more than friends.
	+ (Daring Love) when Todd thought Jenny also liked him he tries to tell her that it wouldn't work out and tries to explain about Maurecia, he didn't know how to explain and he was embarassed and this also shows other proof that Todd possibly might have affection for Maurecia
* In the books, Todd isn't the new kid; that title belongs to Sue. But he's still the only one with common sense.
* Todd doesn't hate Mrs. Jewls, but due to his fears of kindergarteners, he always tries to avoid being sent home at noon. Todd shows that he doesn't want Mrs. Jewls to be gone, but wants her to feel what it's like to be on the bus (however, she implies that it was a great experience).
