June is a main character of the Nickelodeon animated sketch comedy series KaBlam! and its short-lived spinoff, The Henry and June Show. She co-hosts with her best friend, Henry.

Appearance[]

June is pale-skinned and has light blue hair in a ponytail with a spiky fringe, but is most often seen wearing a yellow T-shirt with an orange cardigan, green plaid shorts, and dirty white socks with purple shoes. In a few episodes, it is revealed that she wears a white sleeveless undershirt under her T-shirt and cardigan, and one episode even shows her underwear, bloomers that match her jacket.

Characterization[]

June's characterization and personality changed significantly between the first and second seasons of KaBlam!. In Season 1, she is shown as being overly impulsive and excitable. In Seasons 2-4, she is depicted as smart, prone to cynical remarks, and laid-back, with her fiery temper reappearing only in chaotic situations. This change in characterization was very well received by fans. In addition, with actress Julia McIlvaine aging as KaBlam! progresses, June's voice becomes deeper.

One of June's most consistent traits is that she's a prankster, and often teases Henry. Usually, she's laughing at him because he gets embarrassed by his mom.

June has a lot of skills. She is often shown to be quite proficient with technology, where in one episode she built a large and complex page-turning device. June can sing, dance and play the acoustic guitar.

Relationship with Henry[]

Henry and June are very close friends, although they frequently bicker (and he often ends up at the receiving end of her jokes). Fans have even considered them being more than that, although Mark Marek, the creator of the Henry and June segments, has confirmed their relationship is "100% platonic." There have been threats to their bond — most notably in the Season 2 episode "Won't Stick to Most Dental Work!," in which Henry got tired of being mocked and left his hosting job — but rejoined the show at the end.

Reception[]

June seems to be the most popular character among fans, for various reasons. One is that her sense of humor is a bit more "adult," endearing her to older fans of KaBlam!. Another is her originality, while most other animated shows have female characters in more generic "girly" roles, June is a tomboyish tough speaker.

June's Lessons[]

June teaches about choking and the Heimlich maneuver in the Season 3 episode "More Happiness than Allowed By Law!," where Henry chokes on a wedding cake as she explains. Together, she and Henry explain the principle of the Accordion Squash in the Season 1 episode "Resistance is Futile," and the phrase "onomatopoeia" in the Season 3 episode "Your Logo Here!."
