Why did Pendleton Ward walk away?

     Adventure Time is one of the biggest cult hits on animated television. Recently the creator Pendleton Ward walked away from being the shows producer. Even though being producer of an animated hit seems like it would be a cakewalk, it is more work than one may think. Being in charge of the animation process. writing, advertising, toys, art direction, ect. It all can wear you down very fast.

     Ward doesn't seem to have a primary motivation for stepping down. It may just be that he strives for a little less, which is completely understandable. Maybe its because as a kid he was not very outgoing, and being a producer requires lots of human interaction, between you, your clients, and your workers. Either way Ward is a very talented person who has worked very hard to make his show successful! So I have respect for him in his decision, producer is not a hard job but it seems it can pay off if you have the steam!
