Biography
Jim Fortier co-created Squidbillies with Dave Willis, an Adult Swim animated sitcom that became a defining fixture of Cartoon Network's late-night programming. An unofficial pilot aired April 1, 2005, with the official series debut following on October 16, 2005. Over 13 seasons, the show produced 132 episodes before concluding on December 12, 2021. The series centered on the Cuylers, an impoverished family of anthropomorphic hillbilly "mud squids" living in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains region. Early, the patriarch, was characterized as a lazy, ornery alcoholic frequently involved in criminal activity. His son Rusty represented the opposite—good-natured and seeking paternal approval. Granny, the eldest family member, balanced significant health problems with surprising resilience. Supporting characters included Lil, Early's sister working as a hairdresser, sex worker, and methamphetamine cook, and Sheriff, an incompetent but friendly law enforcement officer. Early's employer Dan Halen functioned as the show's primary antagonist, portrayed as an exploitative robber baron. Born in 1970, Fortier brought Capricorn determination to building this unconventional animated world. As a screenwriter, his work in television animation extended Squidbillies into international syndication and multiple home media releases.
