- Spümcø was founded in 1988 as a small office facility in the heart of Hollywood. The company name was claimed to have been derived from the name of animation pioneer Raymond Spum. Only a few short months after Spümcø's founding, Nickelodeon announced that they were looking for new cartoons. A concept claimed to be "revived" by then-president of Nickelodeon, Geraldine Laybourne, was that of "creator-driven cartoons". Spümcø co-founder and then-president John Kricfalusi sold The Ren & Stimpy Show to Nickelodeon in 1988, which became Spümcø's first original animated series production. The Golden Age of American animation, like the 1940s cartoons by Bob Clampett and Tex Avery to name a few, served for inspiration for the bizarre expressions and artwork for which Spümcø became well known.

The Spümcø headquarters were located in Los Angeles, west of Paramount Studios. Amy Harmon of The New York Times said that "the not-quite-underground headquarters" was "a nondescript building." In 2005, Spumco closed after a lawsuit with Carbunkle Animation. In 2016, the company was reopened by John K. and Gabe Del Valle under the name Spümtwo.
