According to showrunner Aja Smith, one of the writers of The Zoomie & Jolly Show bent the rules of the original Zippy universe to allow for more creative freedom. Smith explained: "We really tried to just do anything we wanted... We mess with canon [the original series' continuity] a lot. I don't know if anybody knows this, but we don't really respect canon just for the sake of itself." The writers also aimed to "sideline" story structures, which "frees [them] up to be more surreal and randomly bizarre with the kinds of things [they] put out there."
