Hi, John! I've been a huge fan of Ren and Stimpy since my childhood. I just want to start off by saying thank you for all the crazy cartoon madness you've graced us with :D. Also, because of Ren and Stimpy, I received my first A+ in school (I decided to do a report on the show for my english class) lol. I consider you to be my first childhood hero! So I really want to ask you, how did you come up with the dialogue for Ren's freak outs/breakdowns? Like in Insomniac Ren, Space Madness, the boot camp episode and even the one time Stimpy showed a crazier side in Mad Dog Hoek? Also (slightly off topic) I've heard in the audio commentary in the first DVD someone mentioned you practicing odd expressions in a mirror and drawing them down too. How do you get so specific with the faces? Much respect, http://imgur.com/5XqDi

Wow..I wish I knew what the FIRST one sounded like then lol. I haven't heard of those movies but I will definitely check them out now :). The dialogue in the Sven freak out scene sounded SO realistic to something an angry father would say lol, actually I'm pretty sure I've gotten a speech like that in my younger days. Speaking of which, sorry your dad cut up your bell bottoms lol. The Stimpy speech makes a lot more sense to me now too. Thanks for answering my question, John. You're the whole reason why I still love cartoons so much!

Mmhm! "Ohh my beloved ice cream bar..how I love to lick your creamy center!"
