[edit] Description

Rodney Rathbone is a main character in Adventures in Odyssey, voiced by Steve Burns. He is the son of Odyssey schemer Bart Rathbone, and while the two conflict at times, the son is clearly a chip off the old block. In Broken Window it is revealed that Rodney's middle initial is P.

Rodney is the mischievous local bully and head of the Bones of Wrath, a gang of teenagers who cause trouble but commit few serious crimes (except for the Darkness Before Dawn segment of the Blackgaard saga, during which they commit numerous acts of vandalism and are party to an attempted murder).

Although Rodney is troublesome to most AIO protagonists, he is generally received without excessive rebuke (as is his father Bart); thus, he appears routinely at Whit's End. Rodney and his father have an interesting relationship; Rodney always refers to his father as "Pop", with his father always responding: "don't call me Pop".

Also, Rodney is one of three non-adult characters on AIO who clearly age more slowly than others (the other two are Connie Kendall and Lucy Cunningham-Schultz). Rodney is a teenage bully all the way from his first appearance, in the episode #108: "Isaac the Courageous" (1990), to his latest, in the episode #624: "Buddy Guard", with no noticeable change in age, even while his peers clearly age faster than him. Like most teenagers, Rodney struggles with acne.

[edit] Quotes

What is that?
Classical music. It aids the digestion.
I think it's workin. I'm startin' to get sick.

Family Values

But he (Richard Maxwell) got caught by Blackgaard and Jellyfish and they took him away and I followed them and the next thing I know Maxwell is flying at of the car and rolling down the hill. That’s when I left
How compassionate of you!

The Last Resort

You rode the board on your hands and knees.
You expected me to stand all the way up?

Aloha, Oy!, Part 1

But you don't not know
Yeah, I don't not know, I guess.
So if you don't not know, then you do know! And if you know that the answer isn't no, then you know that there's no way you can know I broke the window.
Huh?
Court is now in recess.
Oh yeah, when the going gets tough, the tough go outside and play on the swings.

Broken Window

Outta my way people, I've got places to go, people to beat up, and problems to cause.
Move please, do you know you're a large person and you're in my way?
I think 'Excuse me' would work better, Rodney.

Changing Rodney

Yeah, Right. "I was so shocked! When my boss talked about mind control, I thought he said 'mime control', and he just wanted to limit the number of street performers!" Give me a break.
Oh yeah, and Kennedy didn't know anything about the plot to kill John Wilkes Booth, Jr. either.
There was absolutely nothing historically accurate about that sentence.

After Mitch says that he's going to start his own business:
I dunno, Mitch. I mean, after your experience working with Novacom, aren't you just a little worried about corruption in the workplace?
Oh, no, I've done a thorough background check on myself, and I'm clean!
Aren't you worried about you snitching on yourself? Word has it, you are quite a whistle-blower!
Oh, I welcome whistle-blowing! If I start doing anything illegal behind my back I'll be the first person to tell myself, I promise! ...
So, the interview went well?

The Benefit of the Doubt

Duck! There's Tom Riley! (cars screech)
Why'd you duck?
You said to duck!

The Other Woman
