[12] Phineas is portrayed as an intelligent, creative, innovative, and good-natured child. Phineas lives in the fictional town of Danville part of the Tri-State Area , in a large, suburban neighborhood; [17] he comes up with most of his ideas while sitting with Ferb in his backyard. [18] Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh had conceived the idea of the Phineas and Ferb series while working as layout artists on The Simpsons.
Povenmire, eating dinner with his family at a Wild Thyme restaurant in South Pasadena, California, drew a quick sketch of a “triangle kid.” [1] Povenmire named the triangle doodle “Phineas,” saying he “look[ed] like [one]”, [19] and with reference to the character Phileas Fogg often misreferenced as “Phineas Fogg” from Around the World in 80 Days 1873. [20] Povenmire tore the paper out and called Marsh that night, telling him “Hey, I think we have our show.” [21] After designing the show, the two had significant difficulties getting the series green lit.
