Jacob Ley apparently came up with John Dillermand, the eponymous character of his animated children's TV series, when making up bedtime stories to tell his own kids. Dillermand, which roughly translates as 'penis-man', is “a middle-aged man with a prehensile penis that can extend to the length of several metres,” says the IMDB blurb. That unusual trait, as you can imagine, opens the floodgates to plenty of antics and challenges; as one of the episode’s description reads: “It often gets him in trouble and it can get really embarrassing, but when he stands by the fact that he is different, he can save children, babies and cars and even hoist the flag – with the diller. In fact, he can save the whole world if only he were allowed to.”
