Darin McGowan is a former storyboard artist on The Loud House. In May 2020, he left the show and is currently a creative producer at Mattel.[1] However, he would return to direct A Loud House Christmas Movie: Naughty or Nice nearly five years later after his departure. He created the 2003 pilot Gorilla Girl.
Darin's birthday (1031) is hidden in a few episodes he boarded.[4] These are all the known occurrences:
"Making the Case" - On the lower-right corner of the camera screen when Lincoln records his sisters doing embarrassing things.
"Pets Peeved" - On Lisa's chalkboard when describing how long each Loud kid will sleep with Watterson.
"Out of the Picture" - The amount of yearbook pictures Lincoln tried to upload to the computer is 1,031.
"The Mad Scientist" - On Lisa's whiteboard when she explains to the scientists about Einstein's theory of time travel through wormholes.
"Absent Minded" - In Clyde's journal when he documents the day he gets his perfect attendance plaque.
Darin wrote the song "Ooh, Girl,"[5] which can be heard numerous times throughout the show.
He is the third staff member to have written, boarded, and directed at least one episode of The Loud House, after Chris Savino and Kyle Marshall. However, his writing credits only amount to writing the story for some episodes and not the screenplay.
