Nothing will ever be the Same After This.
The Ren & Stimpy Show was created by John Kricfalusi, who was heavily involved in the show’s first two seasons, as well as its third season. As a result, he has a tarnished reputation that is difficult to shake. Among other things, he’s been criticized for being an overly rigid supervisor, which makes it difficult to work for him as an animator.
In order to prevent the animators from drawing the same character’s face more than once, he established strict standards during his tenure on The Ren and Stimpy Show. In the great scheme of things, he wasn’t the most approachable of employers to work for.
