In developing the lead character of the series, animator and layout artist [[Jerry Eisenberg]] recounted on how Peter Potamus was created:
<blockquote>
"Once I was thinking about a hippopotamus… Since I was overweight, I could relate to that. So I started making some drawings in the Hanna-Barbera style—the character standing on two legs. I put a safari coat on him and a pith helmet. [[Joseph Barbera|Joe]] kind of liked it, so he got some writers together and we began to work on it. I don't know who came up with the name, but that was Peter Potamus."
