Jacob Two-Two is the eponymous protagonist of a series of children's books created by the prolific Jewish-Canadian author Mordecai Richler. He is a young boy from Montreal, Quebec whose father is an accomplished author. He gets his nickname "Two-Two" because he often has to say things twice to be heard by his family, due to being the youngest of five children. But despite his runty status, Jacob always finds adventure to be had with his friends and around Montreal, from meeting famous wrestlers to befriending living dinosaurs.The first book Jacob Two-Two meets The Hooded Fang was published in 1975. Two more books Jacob Two-Two and the Dinosaur (1987) and Jacob Two-Two's First Spy Case (1995) were later published before Mordecai Richler died in 2001. However, a fourth book called Jacob Two-Two on the High Seas was released in 2009, which was conceived by Richler shortly before his death and completed by Cary Fagan with support from the Richler family.There have also been a few adaptations of Richler's work. Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang has been adapted to film twice (pun not intended) in 1978 and then 1999. Additionally, an animated TV series produced by Nelvana loosely based on the books debuted in 2003 on YTV, with the books even getting a republishing that same year with new illustrations to match the show's animation style.

Kayfabe: Even after leaving the business, the Hooded Fang still acts out his persona of a Heel wrestler when serving as the warden for the children's island prison while keeping the nice, childlike aspect of himself a secret.

Arc Number: Why, two of course. Why, two of course. Jacob is two plus two plus two years old. He has two older brothers and two older sisters. He says everything twice, because as the littlest, nobody hears him the first time. He has two eyes and two arms and two arms and two legs and two feet and two shoes.

Foul Cafeteria Food: In Jacob Two-Two's First Spy Case, the new Evil Principal replaces the kindly cafeteria chef with Perfectly Loathsome Leo Louse, whose catering ranges from "watered-down ketchup soup" to "literally sawdust". It's ostensibly a cost-saving measure, but Jacob catches them pocketing the extra cash.

I Was Just Joking: What sets the plot to "Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang" in motion involves a grocery store worker jokingly asking a cop to arrest Jacob for his tendency to say things twice, with Jacob taking it seriously when the cop plays along as well.
