Origin
According to John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, Bob Clampett created Sylvester and Tom McKimson, his layout artist, designed him. Kricfalusi states in one of his comments of his blog post, "Both Clampett and McKimson told me on separate occasions that they created him as a foil for Tweety and Clampett's unit storyboarded the first collaboration of the 2 characters. Freleng inherited both characters and the storyboard when Clampett left the WB studio in 1946. Then Friz proceeded to take the life out of them. He actually admitted this and more to me."

Famous quotes containing the word origin:

“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
