Creation
Cartoonist Danny Antonucci spent months designing the show in a way similar to the classic cartoons from the 1940s to the 1970s. While the cul-de-sac children were based on real people in his life, the personalities of Ed and the two Eds, were based on personal traits of himself, and the activities of his two sons.
