The Entertainment Weekly show “The No Doctor Cop Lawyer Show” went to the New York Comic Con recently and sat down with one of the biggest animating stars on Cartoon Network, Pendleton Ward, the creator of the wildly successful “Adventure Time.”
I’m a huge fan of this show and animation in general, so being that I am a huge fan, I was surprised to find out that it’s actually set in a post-apocalyptic world instead of another world like I imagined it was. “It came about almost by accident” Ward said to “Doctor Cop” hosts Darren Franich and Keith Staskiewicz. “In the beginning it was just a bright-colored fantasy land, but then we started writing episodes around–like in [the episode] ‘Business Time’ when the businessmen find a bunch of old baby shoes in an iceberg that comes up from this lake bed–and it just evolved from there.”
