How the Characters Were Created
The show's creator, Danny Antonucci, based the characters on real people. He said that Ed, Edd, and Eddy are like parts of his own personality. Their actions are also like what his two sons did. The other kids in the neighborhood and the Kanker sisters are based on children he knew growing up.
Rolf is based on Antonucci and his cousins. They grew up in a family with different customs. Jimmy is like one of his cousins. This cousin liked playing with girls more than boys. Jonny and Plank were inspired by a lonely friend. This friend spent a lot of time outside with his blanket. Antonucci felt it was important to include Plank. He wanted Plank to be a character on his own. This would make Jonny do things he normally wouldn't. Some people wanted Plank to talk or blink. But Antonucci wanted him to stay a piece of wood. Jonny's imagination brings Plank to life.
