Woah. Could I ask how you found that out? Closest site I got didn't release his parents' info: https://acinemaaz.com/joe-murray-net-worth/

But the creator of Rocko, Joe Murray, said himself that he's worked artistically for Apple & IBM: http://joemurraystudio.com/about/bio/

One interesting thing I noted was his quote: "My Kindergarten teacher told my mom I was the only student she knew at that age who drew zippers on pants and breasts on women." - http://www.title14.com/rocko/contributors/murray.html

Fairly innocuous in itself, but makes one paranoid within this context. I don't know anything else about him, but I'm sure those symbols are no accident.

Joe Murray grew up in San Jose in Northern California, and wanted to be a comic-strip artist from as early as he could remember. His father, an IBM company man, didn’t approve, but his grandfather, an eccentric and anti-authority type, was a more encouraging influence, publishing the 11-year-old’s cartoons in a newspaper he printed and distributed himself.
