User:Topher208/Dan Povenmire Correspondence

I found some contact information for Phineas and Ferb creator Dan Povenmire and decided to try to contact him. I was very pleasantly surprised with the extremely quick response to my questions. Perhaps this will lead to some sort of permanent relationship between Mr. Povenmire and our site. *crosses fingers*

Dear Mr. Povenmire,

I am an administrator over at http://phineasandferb.wikia.com/ and would like to request some insight into your wonderful series, Phineas and Ferb. Specific areas of interest are: Production sequence versus broadcast sequence, any additional biographical information on yourself or Mr. Marsh, the location of Danville (is it in South Dakota? and is it named after you?), and any other bits of information you care to elaborate on if you have time to peruse the website.

Thanks, Chris Powers

Danville is not in any specific state, it is wherever it needs to be for any episode. It is a short driving distance from the ocean AND Mount Rushmore so it doesn't really exist geographically. Much like "Springfield" there are many many states with a Danville in them so any one of them can claim it. Yes it is named after me, and Jefferson County is named after Swampy (whose given name is Jeff). Ferb is named after a mutual friend of ours who builds movie sets and has more tools than anyone I know. Isabella is named after my daughter and Django is named after Swampy's son. Danny from Love Handel is not only named after me, but drawn to look like me. Swampy and Bobby are drawn to look like Swampy and Bobby Gaylor (one of our writers and the voice of Buford)

I'll write some more trivia later.

Dear Mr. Povenmire,

Thank you very much for your quick response and all the information. It is really cool that you care enough about your fans to take the time to respond to random Facebook inquiries. I will make edits to the website as soon as I am able. I would still like to know about the production order versus how they were aired. We are currently trying to get those things worked out on the wiki and would really appreciate any information you can give us if you have the time.

Thanks again, Chris Powers
