Heffer Wolfe〔" (Cow-fidential Information )," ''Nickelodeon''〕 is a fictional character on the cartoon ''Rocko's Modern Life'' and the comic book series of the same name. Tom Kenny provided the voice of the anthropomorphic steer. His catchphrase, which can be heard in the series' opening credits, is "That was a hoot!" ==Conception and development== Joe Murray, creator of ''Rocko's Modern Life'', partially based Heffer on an adopted friend who enjoyed bologna sandwiches and "had an interesting take on life." 〔"(Character Museum )," ''Joe Murray Studio''〕 Heffer first appeared on an ID spot aired on MTV in 1989; the ID spot depicts Heffer as flying out of a television with the MTV logo branded on his buttocks.〔"(Lisa (Kiczuk) Trainor interviews Joe Murray, creator of Rocko's Modern Life )," ''The Rocko's Modern Life FAQ''〕〔"(February 2, 2009 )." ''Joe Murray Studio''. Retrieved on February 5, 2009.〕 Murray originally wrote "Sucker for the Suck-O-Matic" as the pilot episode; the executives decided that Heffer would be "a little too weird for test audiences." Murray, instead of removing Heffer from "Sucker for the Suck-O-Matic," decided to write "Trash-O-Madness," an episode without Heffer, as the pilot episode.〔 Originally, Murray did not include any information about Heffer's origins in his pitch to Nickelodeon. Vince Calandra wrote the Heffer's origin plotline in Season 1.〔Maestri, George. ''Digital Character Animation 3''. (248 ).〕 Murray auditioned Tom Kenny in a large casting call in Los Angeles and chose him as the voice actor for Heffer.〔 Kenny based Heffer's voice on the voice of a nephew of his; at the time the nephew was a teenager.〔Bentley, Rick. "(Rocko the wallaby as 'Modern' as ever )." ''Ventura County Star''. July 14, 2011. Retrieved on July 17, 2011.〕 The boy, who was 13 when the Heffer voice started, was the son of Kenny's brother. Kenny said that the voice was "()ot dead on, but some of his quirks I incorporated into the Heffer audition."〔Peitzman, Louis. "(''Rocko's Modern Life'' Is Finally Out on DVD; We Chat with the Voice of Heffer About the Classic '90s Series )." ''TV.com''. June 21, 2011. Retrieved on July 17, 2011.〕 Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, a storyboard writer, says that Heffer's right eye and left nostril are "notched at the bottom" due to Murray's design style. Marsh added that the animators found keeping the sides straight "a little tricky at first" and that they referred to the design as "Tombstone-shaped." 〔"(Dan Abrams' interview with Jeff "Swampy" Marsh )," ''The Rocko's Modern Life FAQ''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heffer Wolfe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
