John K likes to make Hannah Barbera characters look crazy and brain-damaged. Seth M likes to make them bland and ugly.   EDIT: I can't stop giggling looking at Barney's retarded expression. |

John K reminds me of Charles Crumb. In the movie CRUMB they show his early work and it's pretty great. Then as the years go by it gets crazier and more unwieldy. Finally the drawings are just abstractions from his head that no one else really understands. Not EXACTLY like John K but I didn't understand his Yogi Bear cartoon at all.

Hopefully the animation won't be in his usual style. They should make it look like season 1 of the original series when it had a more distinct style. The later seasons and incarnations became more bland and generic.

Every time a classic character like Bugs Bunny or Yogi Bear shows up on FAMILY GUY they get brutally tortured and killed, so I bet it's going to be pretty amazing.
Looking back at John K's career, he only lasted at REN & STIMPY for a very short time before they fired him. Pretty tragic, but his art was a childhood staple of mine.

Sometimes I'm totally with you, and then there's times like this... |

You have no idea how relieved I am right now that I was so oblivious back then. |

Ren and Stimpy was probably the first laugh-out-loud funny thing I saw, most children's animation is influenced by it. It is a big influence on both my writing and drawing.
John K is almost a tragic figure, probably nobody loves the art of animation as much as him. His blog is a treasure-chest of animation and composition knowledge and also a gallery for his curmudgeonly and sometimes borderline intolerant views.

Yeah, he also kind of hates his influences to a degree and his style is so time and money consuming coupled with his trouble working with higher ups.
He did a lot for artists who wanted to also write the cartoons they worked for in a time where that was becoming rare. I would almost say he should have caved to Nickelodeon more in the beginning so he could get more clout.

Is there a good Shale/Miller type book about the early days of Nickelodeon? I'd love to read some stories about those John K days.

Oh yeah, to him the last "great" piece of animation was Looney Tunes, Bob Clampett and Tex Avery stuff. Everything else, aside from some Hanna Barbera, is crap, a by-product of "hippies taking over". Nothing is good, not Pixar nor Hayao Miyazaki (hates anime). I think the last thing he actually said he liked on the blog (I don't read it anymore) was Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, and even that he kinda hated too. He's nuts and that porno version of Ren and Stimpy he did proves it. |
