Ryan quincy put in 14 years at South Park, Comedy Central's famously potty-mouthed animated iconoclast. But he wanted to work on a show that he could actually watch with his children, now 9 and 11. "People would say, what does your dad do? They'd say, he works in cartoons, in animation," says Quincy, who also created the short-lived, aptly titled animated series Our There on IFC. "But they were never able to see any of it"-unless dad hit the mute button. That changes August 1, when Quincy's Future-Worm debuts on Disney XD. It's about a geeky kid named Danny (his T-shirt says, simply, 'Science'), a time-travel lunch box, and a visitor from the future who's a gravelly voiced worm with titanium abs. "It's like Jiminy Cricket on your shoulder, only he's a tough guy," says Quincy, who adds that his worm creation is part Hulk Hogan, part Mr. T and part Chuck Norris.
