I believe that in order to have a show with a variety of unique expressions and character designs, you need a variety of different artists in the team. Some artists are better at drawing certain character expressions than others, some artists are better at drawing certain character designs than others. It’s all because every artist has a style that’s a culmination of what they can and can’t do, so all of them together drawing in a shows style can help add their strong stylistic attributes to the show and have them all contribute to its look. John K girls don’t look the best, many hot girls from the OG Ren & Stimpy series are likely to be Lynn Naylor designs, and yes, many large and fat or muscular men are all the work of Jim Smith, and many of those flatter expressions from the Games era are Chris Reccardis. The happy happy joy joy of Ren & Stimpy is that you can sometimes tell which artist drew which, and I know for a fact that the curvy sexy girls in the show aren’t his designs.

Ren & Stimpy was the blueprint for pretty much all television animation that came after it, it was made at a time when episodic tv cartoons with golden age cartoon influence and surreal humor were something new and unique, then you got stuff like Rocko and SpongeBob that were influenced by it, then you got the shows influenced by those shows, etc. I recommend it, the Games era isn’t as good but there are a couple of gems from it here and there like Blazing Entrails. Looking at all this animation really makes me want to draw, it’ll forever be the gold standard for television animation for me and nothing can truly compare, I’m a huge fan of all the artists that worked on it too, Jim Smith and Chris Reccardi especially.

I don’t think he’s a bad artist, but I’ve always preferred the art from the other artists at Spumco

It’s also very clear how John Ks art degraded overtime.
