Inspiration
The Rufus Leaking character (puppet) is loosely based on Ignatius Riley, the protagonist from A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.
Stuckey took the name Rufus Leaking from Widespread Panic’s Dave Schools who used the name as his alias when checking into hotels.

Famous quotes containing the word inspiration:
“Poets should be lawgivers; that is, the boldest lyric inspiration should not chide and insult, but should announce and lead, the civil code, and the day’s work. But now the two things seem irreconcilably parted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“As one knows the poet by his fine music, so one can recognise the liar by his rich rhythmic utterance, and in neither case will the casual inspiration of the moment suffice. Here, as elsewhere, practice must precede perfection.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The ironies in the commonplace are my inspiration and delight.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
