The Gemini Award-nominated show was created by Vadim Kapridov. Originally it was a web animation that appeared on United Feature Syndicate's website, Comics.com, where they posted a series of Flash cartoons called Mr. Futz in 2001. It was later picked up for television, with development beginning in 2002, with production commencing in December 2006 and ending on schedule in September 2007.
The show's premise revolves around the eponymous main character and his zany adventures. Eschewing verbal dialogue, the series portrays the escapades of this character, who has been described as an anti-hero, in a comedic light.
