In Daria's first incarnation as a recurring character on ''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butt-head]],'' she formed a female, intelligent foil to the two male dunderheads. (She was, a producer/writer for the show stated, "the smart girl who hung around with [[Beavis and Butt-head]] because it annoyed her parents.") Often, the two would openly mock her and refer to her as "Diarrhea." Daria was named by [[Mike Judge]] after a girl at his school who'd had that name... and ''also'' been nicknamed "Diarrhea". He cites [[David Felton]] as coming up with her look ("like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynda_Barry Lynda Barry]") and with the character, with producer [[John Andrews]] creating the original design.
