Moral Orel got its inspiration from Iggy Pop
There's a cool little interview with Moral Orel creator Dino
Stamatopoulos over at the Adult Swim site. Before Moral Orel came along, Dino was a writer for
both Conan and Letterman. He also worked on The Ben Stiller Show, Mr. Show, and TV
Funhouse. The most interesting thing in the interview, besides confirmation that there will be a second season of
the series, is that despite its aesthetic, Moral Orel is not really influenced by the pious Davey and
Goliath cartoons of the 1960s. Instead, Dino took a script he had written for Iggy Pop (in which Iggy would play a
twelve-year-old boy) and turned it into a cartoon. The result was the "Waste" episode. Dang, now I really want to see
that Iggy Pop show get made. He's not too old yet, is he?
