MH- Which animation show was the most rewarding and why?
CR-I would have to say “Ren & Stimpy”. But rewarding like getting ten root canals, and then growing new super-teeth later. There was the torture in the beginning of being young, inexperienced (and lousy) and trying to learn under an emotionally disturbed genius (John K.), and later directing shows (at Games) and staying up all night doing everything myself because the talent was spread too thin and new talent was scarce. The rewards came later, in the form of improved drawing skills and the personal stylistic discoveries that can only come from the experience of working on such a creative show.

I laughed. Maniacally and painfully.

Quite possibly! "We weren't willing to train anyone, and couldn't find anyone trained to the insane standards John beat into us" is also a possibility.
