Early Life
Seth was born in Kent, Connecticut. His father, Ronald, was a teacher, and his mother, Ann, was an academic administrator. He began drawing beloved cartoons like Woody Woodpecker and Fred Flintstone at the age of two and inquiring about the mechanics of animation as soon as he could talk. MacFarlane remembers, "When I was old enough to ask the question, I was asking, 'How are cartoons made? How do I do one of these?'" He got his first paying job at age nine when he began issuing his own comic strip in the local Kent newspaper.
