I always thought Lair was one of the most Spumco looking of the season 3 episodes produced at Games and I finally know why. I may be in the minority here, but I always loved a lot of the season 3 episodes of Ren and Stimpy, even though a couple of the cartoons fell flat. Even the worst of them is a 100x better than whatever cartoons are being produced for television now, especially in terms of art direction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28762205.post-82781661611960975722012-04-10T17:36:16.798-07:002012-04-10T17:36:16.798-07:00hot damn!

I know very little about the the Salve cartoon, other than it was inspired by a 3 Stooges I think. It was written at Spumco and maybe storyboarded, the rest was produced at Games. I have not watched it yet.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500622845539257850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28762205.post-91176606022764938622012-04-09T18:26:51.243-07:002012-04-09T18:26:51.243-07:00"Also, I'm watching "Lair of the Lum..."Also, I'm watching "Lair of the Lummox."

Not familiar with the film, but I loved Nosferatu, so I'll definitely check it out if TCM plays it or something.<br /><br />Did you read my previous post about that Ren and Stimpy cartoon "Lair of the Lummox" you storyboarded?
