Origin
According to John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, Bob Clampett created Sylvester and Tom McKimson, his layout artist, designed him. Kricfalusi states in one of his comments of his blog post, "Both Clampett and McKimson told me on separate occasions that they created him as a foil for Tweety and Clampett's unit storyboarded the first collaboration of the 2 characters. Freleng inherited both characters and the storyboard when Clampett left the WB studio in 1946. Then Friz proceeded to take the life out of them. He actually admitted this and more to me."
