The show was really about a 3-D rendered dog and flea
Who ran a
pirate tv station and later got hired by cartoon network much to his dismay of meeting his heroes he
Would end up doing janitor
work or stand in as an extra or prop , he would always get his
Hope's up while his flea
Friend would be a comedic foil and show him the reality
Of his delusions much like butthead would do to beavis .

The CGI Moxy is considered the first
real-
time (sometimes called a "live") cartoon, though only broadcast live through the "Great International Toon-In". A puppeteer wearing a motion capture apparatus would act out Moxy's motions.
Considering this was 1993 - 1995 this technology was
Revolutionary at the
time maybe early precursor to
Mocap / motion capture. The graphics were comparable
To early sony ps1 / psone
