I went to Sheridan College for animation too, with some of the guys who ended up doing that show, but I never met him. A co-animator and friend (and female) has interesting stories about John K., including how he scratched at their paper until it ripped screaming at his animators, "Draw like a man!!!" While that's a second hand heresay account, I tend to believe it, as the rumours/stories like that were not uncommon.

I did NOT know about the sexual predator stuff though.

I learned about his relations with young girls a few years ago. While his behavior was likely not appropriate and had negative consequences, I had a lot of laughs watching Ren & Stimpy, and I still think it's funny. Although, I don't think making sure justice is served is going to do anything positive for anyone.

Yes. I liked learning about all this but I didn't like the tone and attitude. It's bad enough already without the preachy judgementalism.

The Tenatious D music video animated by John K. for "Fuck Her Gently" is worth seeing for a laugh but it's not on YouTube and you'll have to find it on other sites.
