I believe it was on about the same time as Three Friends and Jerry. It was intentionally (I hope) poorly drawn. I think the main character was black with glasses and maybe a red hat. The kid had a female friend. I am pretty sure it took place in middle school. Probably Canadian, but maybe not.
I didn't even like the show that much, but I have not been able to figure it out for the last five years or so. I tried a search and none of them were the answer. I checked both wiki and the 90's section for a title that looked familiar to me. My guess is that it isn't in your data base, but perhaps someone recalls it. Please it has been killing me for years.
