The best bud dudes who invented the best bud dude-snake duo credit two unlikely sources for their show’s giddy use of gross-out humor; their mothers. Growing up, both of their mothers were nurses, and they loved to regale the future punks with stories that made them cringe and crack up.

Jim Dirschberger, Jay Howell and Andreas Trolf

Dude, what’s up? How about the most awesome best friendship of all time. The epic quests of the dude-snake duo make them worthy members of the Best Friends Hall of Fame. Except there is no Best Friends Hall of Fame. They made it up.

Doug is an imaginative, thoughtful kid just trying to find his way in his hometown of Bluffington. Between enduring bad haircuts, avoiding bully Roger Klotz and desperately hoping to impress his crush, Patty Mayonnaise, Doug’s got plenty to be anxious about. No matter how it turns out, Doug can turn to his best friend Skeeter, dog Porkchop, and of course, his fantasy life and journal.

When anything is erased from a chalkboard, it’s not really gone – it just enters a realm called the Chalkzone. And fifth grader Rudy Tabootie found a way to go there! With a piece of “White Lightning” chalk, he can enter the Chalkzone any time he likes. In the Chalkzone, Rudy befriends Snap, a bold superhero Rudy drew years ago. But Rudy soon discovers not every doodle is friendly…
