The Bandito series started in the summer of 2008, 3 years after Juanito creator TJ Davis dropped out of dental school at THE Ohio State University. Since that fateful season, Pickleville has produced 20 separate Bandito productions including 9 Christmas seasons featuring "the baddest bad guy in the whole wild west!"
Juanito is the illegitimate son of a Spanish princess and the infamous Spanish pirate known as "El Diablo". He spends the majority of his days tormenting the western territories with his iconic mustache, sick raps, impressive sneaker collection, and lighting-fast skill with a pistol.
