Why, if it isn’t my old friend, Stinky Weasel Cheeks! Ren and Stimpy was an awesomely bizarre cartoon. Some of you might say, “No sir, I don’t like it,” but you’re simply wrong. That’s right, I’m telling you your opinion is wrong. You should like it because it is a rare, funny, visual treat. The future of animation dangerously teeters on the edge of seriousness and soulless perfection. Shows like Ren and Stimpy save it from falling and being overtaken by heartless Disney sequels. Relish in nipple salesmanship and the eating of kitty litter. Enjoy the beauty of disgusting ear wax and excrement, and other unpleasentries drawn with artistic finesse. Appreciate also the animator’s sense for movement. It’s rare, all right. And when you finally come to understand the art form, the cynical glum of your inner Muddy Mudskipper will melt away into pangs of Happy Happy, Joy Joy.
