<P> According to cartoonist and Ed , Edd n Eddy creator Danny Antonucci , he based the characters on real people in his life ; the personalities of Ed , Edd , and Eddy are based on his own traits , and the activities of his two sons while the cul - de-sac children and the Kanker sisters were all based on children he grew up with . Rolf is based on himself and his cousins , since he was part of an immigrant family , and grew up in a first generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living , compared to those born in Canada . Jimmy is based on one of his cousins , who spent most of his time playing with girls than boys and was rather feminine . Jonny and Plank are inspired by one of Antonucci 's childhood friends , a loner who spent most of his time outside with his blanket . He stated that he believed it was important to add Plank , a board of wood , to the show , and that he `` thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own '' and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do . Some wanted Plank to be able to talk , smile and blink as if he was alive , but Antonucci insisted that it should be treated as a piece of wood , brought to life by Jonny 's imagination . </P>
