Production

Mr. Pickles is an animated television series created by Will Carsola and Dave Stewart. The series was one of several shows pitched to Adult Swim, according to the creators, who also operate under the name Day by Day. Stewart recalled promoting it as a "one-line sentence", while Carsola remembered that it derived from a "write-off" session, where the two present ideas to each other in the form of scribbles for their amusement. Carsola explained that ideas in this process are released from the pressure "of them being good", occasionally finding "one that sticks".[1] The character of Mr. Pickles is loosely based off Stewart's own Australian Cattle Dog; animation director Mike L. Mayfield recorded Stewart's dog playing around on video, with animators using the resulting footage as a base for the character's movements.[2]

The series' setting, an old-fashioned town literally called "Old Town", is roughly based on Richmond, Virginia, where the creators started out in entertainment before moving to Los Angeles.[1] The series is animated using Adobe Flash.[3]

Broadcast and reception

The series has been picked up for ten quarter-hour episodes for its first season.[4]
