Reading that letter sent nostalgia into overdrive. Thank you for creating a show that allowed me to experience how cartoons were supposed to be.

I often see my younger brother and sister (I am almost 16 years their senior) watching the cartoons of today and I feel bad for them. Cartoons (from what I can tell) are now about instilling social norms/cramming ideas into their young minds rather than escapism from reality that cartoons used to provide. Kids are being asked to grow up much too fast these days.

On to the questions:

1. Do you have any "original" drawings of your characters that you might be willing to share with reddit? I'd love to see the phases Ren/Stimpy (or any other characters for that matter) went through before you were pleased with their appearance. Further - is any of your artwork for sale? My older brother (now 26) has been drawing for as long as he could hold a pencil and would be blown away if I were able to get something from one of his favorite cartoon artists as a kid.

2. What is your opinion on the quality of cartoons today?

3. If you had to choose a new cartoon as your favorite - what would it be?

4. Do you agree with my observations on the current state of cartoons or do you think I'm over-analyzing?

Thanks in advance!

Any chance we could get a mod to hijack a top comment in the post about his letter (to let the rest of reddit know Mr. Kricfalusi has decided to grace us with his presence)?

With 3000+ upvotes I have a feeling more of reddit than the AMA crowd would be interested in, if nothing else, expressing their praise for the influence he had on that kid.
