Trivia about The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

As a child, show creator Van Orman lived in Panama City, Florida, and "used to fantasize about living near the dock and having adventures all the time." When he was 13, his family moved to Utah, but Van Orman still dreamed of adventure.

Van Orman was well known for his work on other Cartoon Network shows, such as The Powerpuff Girls, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and Camp Lazlo.

The original extended theme song for the show was used only once, for a musical special titled 'All Hands On Deck'.

Van Orman attempted to pitch the concept to Cartoon Network in 2001.

His first pitch was rejected, but he received a lot of feedback and re-pitched the concept in 2003.

Paul Reubens was originally selected to be the voice of Flapjack, but when Reubens did not show up to any recording sessions, Van Orman himself decided to voice Flapjack.
