Media & Original Concepts

Not every story begins as a book or a screenplay.

Some begin with a character, a visual, a joke, or a simple question: What would happen if we built an entire world around this?

Michael Patrick O'Hara develops original character-driven concepts designed to move beyond a single format—into digital media, illustration, animation, publishing, merchandise, and other forms of storytelling.

Squirrel Team Six
Life. Liberty. Nuts.

Squirrel Team Six is an original character-driven comedy universe built around an elite group of squirrels whose missions are considerably more important—at least to them—than anyone else might imagine.

In their world, bird feeders become strategic assets, acorns are a matter of national security, backyard fences mark international boundaries, and the neighborhood raccoons are always up to something.

The expanding Squirrel Team Six universe includes its namesake team, President Nutt and his administration, specialized reconnaissance units, the airborne Wing Nut Division, and a growing collection of friends, rivals, and adversaries—including Robert “Robber” Raccoon and his raccoon crew.

The concept combines the visual language and seriousness of classic mission stories with the absurdity of ordinary backyard life. The result is a world that can support individual cartoons and short stories while continuing to grow into a much larger cast of characters and interconnected adventures.

Squirrel Team Six is being developed through Squirrel Team Six Media, the dedicated home of the characters, stories, artwork, and expanding universe.

More Worlds to Come

Squirrel Team Six represents another side of the same creative curiosity behind my books and screenplays: taking a simple “What if?” and following it far enough to discover an entire world.

More original concepts are in development.
