- Irving

"I got in the car when your Mom stopped for gas! I'm just happy to be here!"

- Irving

Irving is a boy who is Phineas and Ferb's self-proclaimed biggest fan.

Biography
He always carries a scrapbook that he filled with images and souvenirs from Phineas and Ferb's Big Ideas with him (such as the roller coaster, the chariot race, and the boys with some sort of soup, most likely from the time they created Chez Platypus). He has pictures and stories of the gang ever since day one. He even has a lock of Ferb's hair. He apparently was with them the whole day but had gone unnoticed because his horoscope says he's "the background type". He says he often has to digitally insert himself in pictures of their adventures to make it seem as though he was there as well. He thinks that Phineas and Ferb always have a plan, but is disappointed to find out that they have just been improvising the whole time ("Hide and Seek").

He also appears with Phineas and Ferb's group of friends in some occasions. When Doofenshmirtz's inator lands in Phineas and Ferb's backyard, Phineas addresses him separately ("Friends, bullies, Irving."), indicating that Phineas and Ferb don't consider him a friend yet ("What Do It Do?"). Though in when Phineas and Ferb build the world's tallest building, Phineas was glad that Irving was there to help and openly invited him ("The Doof Side of the Moon"). Also when they discovered Atlantis, he states that he got in the car when Linda stopped for gas, indicating that he wasn't invited onto the beach trip although it seems that he is part of the immediate group of kids. Buford and Baljeet do not seem to paticularly like him, calling him a nerd among other things ("Atlantis"). During christmas vaction, Irving receives Phineas and Ferb's clothes and cuddles them dearly ("Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!").

Irving also helps "Tri-State Area Unification Day" parade ("Hip Hip Parade").

When Candace teams up with Albert, he removes the cameras that Albert and Candace put up and he tries to convince Albert to stop helping Candace ("The Doof Side of the Moon").

During the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Convention, he becomes involved in a battle between fans of Space Adventure (Speckies) and fans of Stumbleberry Finkbat (Finkies). He and Albert get in a fight because of their different tastes in genre. However, they are soon reunited when fighting a (computer generated, although they did not know it) strange monster ("Nerds of a Feather").

Irving also made a small appearance in the song Summer Belongs to You.

During Phineas' birthday he suggested to make a clip show for Phineas using the clips he recorded ("Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!).

When Phineas and Ferb built a fun house, Irving was hit with Dr. Doofenshmirtz's "Least-Likely-inator". He claimed that Phineas and Ferb were lame and he was flirting with Isabella. This means he has little to no romantic interest in Isabella since he was doing the least likely thing he could do ("Misperceived Monotreme").
