Since it’s the holiday season…. Here I present to you, some storyboards from the Season 2 R&S episode, Son of Stimpy (Stimpy’s First Fart) by Peter Avanzino. Most of the boards here were cut/trimmed down for time. As the episode itself had a lot of production trouble (one example being the episode took about 15 weeks/3 months in layout and how the post production department screwed over the hand drawn snow effects done at Carbunkle) and was conceived as a satirical parody against the act of pathos. It worked.

Do you prefer Spumco or Games era Ren and Stimpy Show?

I prefer the animation style of Spumco (obviously) but if I'm being honest, the Games episodes are funnier, have more dark humour, have more eccentric-out-there-personalities, and are paced better without as many slow as molasses scenes. Also John-should-be-behind-bars-Kricfalusi had little to no involvement with them so I don't feel sick at all watching them, and there's a lot less stuff that stings to rewatch with the context of "this was based on something john did or happened to him"

how the fuck did it ever get this bad

[the-overanalyst]

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

TW// Body Horror/overall disturbing shit.

Double Header is an episode I still like! Ren is at his wit’s end with Stimpy for the millionth time and this, tries to send Stimpy to Ursa Minor, which doesn’t go well as the two get ran over by a bus and sewn together, hilarity and freak outs ensue. Mike Kim’s character layouts are awesome, I like Tom McGrath’s storyboards and the story is mainly consistent!

I sometimes forget how Games Animation could be more balls out in regards to the insane and spooky than Spümcô was, in this case however, it works!

I prefer this over it’s sister episode, The Scotsman in Space. Because unlike that episode, it has actual plot and character!

How (at least) I would imagine games doing their take on a farewell segment

[reasonsforhope]

"In one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, a remarkable thing has happened—the scimitar-horned oryx, once declared extinct in the wild, is now classified only as endangered.

It’s the first time the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world’s largest conservation organization, has ever moved a species on its Red List from ‘Extinct in the Wild’ to ‘Endangered.’

The recovery was down to the conservation work of zoos around the world, but also from game breeders in the Texas hill country, who kept the oryx alive while the governments of Abu Dhabi and Chad worked together on a reintroduction program.

Chad... ranks second-lowest on the UN Development Index. Nevertheless, it is within this North African country that can be found the Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve, a piece of protected desert and savannah the size of Scotland—around 30,000 square miles, or 10 times the size of Yellowstone.

At a workshop in Chad’s capital of N’Djamena, in 2012, Environment Abu Dhabi, the government of Chad, the Sahara Conservation Fund, and the Zoological Society of London, all secured the support of local landowners and nomadic herders for the reintroduction of the scimitar-horned oryx to the reserve.

Environment Abu Dhabi started the project, assembling captive animals from zoos and private collections the world over to ensure genetic diversity. In March 2016, the first 21 animals from this “world herd” were released over time into a fenced-off part of the reserve where they could acclimatize. Ranging over 30 miles, one female gave birth—the first oryx born into its once-native habitat in over three decades.

In late January 2017, 14 more animals were flown to the reserve in Chad from Abu Dhabi.

In 2022, the rewilded species was officially assessed by the IUCN’s Red List, and determined them to be just ‘Endangered,’ and not ‘Critically Endangered,’ with a population of between 140 and 160 individuals that was increasing, not decreasing.

It’s a tremendous achievement of international scientific and governmental collaboration and a sign that zoological efforts to breed endangered and even extinct animals in captivity can truly work if suitable habitat remains for them to return to."
