The game's main character is clearly inspired by Stripy, created by Bruno Bozzetto. Stripy was featured in 13 short (6' long) animation movies, directed by Guido Manuli around 1984. The character gained widespread fame mainly as the protagonist of the opening of the TV show for children titled "Scacciapensieri", broadcasted on Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana (RSI), the Italian language based Swiss television channel of the era: in 45'', Stripy attempts to not laughing while trying to pronounce the show's title, with his distinctive garbled speech created for him by the voice actor Carlo Bonomi.
