And in a new interview Rebecca has revealed that Mr. Squiggle's distinctive appearance was 'based' on her father, who died in 2010.
'I was looking through boxes of old photos and [realised] they [Mr. Squiggle and Norman] had the same wild hair and big eyes,' Rebecca said an interview with New Idea this week.
