Reddit AMA Recap: Squidbillies producers Dave Willis and Jim Fortier talk season eight
This Sunday Night on Adult Swim starting @ 11:45 pm welcomes the return of Squidbillies! Yep! Season eight is getting ready to unload and producers Dave Willis and Jim Fortier recently took part in a Reddit AMA where they answered questions on the development of the series, and a whole bunch more.
On how the producers got into animation, but only Jim gave his side of the story:
(JF)Dave can tell you his story, but he was working here at Cartoon Network in the mid 90’s (Space Ghost Coast to Coast) and told me they had a job opening. I borrowed the company van and drove on down for an interview. Van ran out of gas on the interstate. Got some dude who stopped to give me a ride the rest of the way. He asked for 20 bucks. It was pouring rain so I had to dry myself off with paper towels in the men’s room. Did the job interview. Got the job. Congratulations, you’re in animation! (your results may vary)
How did the idea for Squidbillies come about?
Hi Ashley, thank you so much for reading and we love the feedback.
