Since his

History
While creating Ludicrous Limericks, Jankowski wanted a villain for Darrell and Dorothy, and came up with a tiger for the design. The tiger character was named Creighton which, as Jankowski stated, "was the most pretentious name (Jankowski) could think of".

For the voice, Jankowski decided he wanted an unknown to voice the character. After looking through a phonebook, he called up aspiring voice actor Mel Blanc to voice the character. He went on to voice the character for 63 years: from 1926 until his 1989 death, using a maniacal, almost French-sounding accent. After his death, Joe Alaskey was selected to voice Creighton, and has voiced the character ever since.
