Michael John Kricfalusi (/ˌkrɪsfəˈluːsi/; born September 9, 1955), known professionally as John K., is a Canadian blogger, illustrator, and former animator/voice actor, best known for creating the Nicktoon The Ren & Stimpy Show. From 1989 to 1992, he was heavily involved with the first two seasons of the show in virtually every aspect of its production, including providing the voice of Ren Höek and other characters.
Born in Quebec, Kricfalusi spent his early childhood in Germany and Belgium before returning to Canada at age seven. He acquired his skills largely by copying cartoons from newspapers and comic books as a child, and by studying cartoons and their production systems from the 1940s and 1950s. His main influence is Bob Clampett. After moving to Los Angeles in 1978, he collaborated with Ralph Bakshi and worked for Filmation, Hanna-Barbera, and DIC Entertainment on various shows. In 1989, Kricfalusi co-founded the animation studio Spümcø, with which he remained until its dissolution in 2005.
Nickelodeon fired Kricfalusi from Ren & Stimpy due to creative differences and his failure to meet production deadlines. Following this, he directed and produced animated television commercials and music videos for entertainers such as Björk and Tenacious D. In the late 1990s, he created the first cartoons made exclusively for the Internet: The Goddamn George Liquor Program and Weekend Pussy Hunt. He returned to television with The Ripping Friends and the adult animation spin-off Ren & Stimpy \"Adult Party Cartoon\". Since 2006, Kricfalusi has maintained a personal blog dedicated to cartoons and animation. There, he coined \"CalArts style\", a pejorative used for a widespread 2010s cartoon aesthetic..
Spumco, Inc. (stylized as Spümcø) was an American animation studio which was active from 1989 to 2005 and based in Los Angeles, California. The studio was best known for working on the first two seasons of The Ren & Stimpy Show and for various commercials. It won several awards, including an Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject, for the Björk music video \"I Miss You\".
Spümcø was founded by animators John Kricfalusi, Bob Camp, Jim Smith, and Lynne Naylor. Kricfalusi named the company after the fictional \"Raymond Spum\", whom he jokingly described as the inventor of animation.[6] Spümcø\'s first original animated series production was The Ren & Stimpy Show, which was sold to Nickelodeon in 1988. The Golden Age of American animation, exemplified by, for example, the 1940s cartoons by Bob Clampett and Tex Avery, served for inspiration for the surreal and highly expressive house style for which Spümcø became well-known.
Kricfalusi formed Spümcø animation studio with partners Jim Smith, Bob Camp and Lynne Naylor. They began working on a pilot for The Ren & Stimpy Show on behalf of Nickelodeon, after the eponymous characters were favored by Nickelodeon producer Vanessa Coffey in a presentation by Kricfalusi. The show came to garner high ratings for Nickelodeon and at the time was the most popular cable TV show in the United States, but the network disagreed with Kricfalusi\'s direction of the show, and disapproved of his missed production deadlines. Kricfalusi points specifically to the episode \"Man\'s Best Friend\", which depicts the character George Liquor as an abusive father figure, as the turning point in his relationship with Nickelodeon. One of the episodes, \"Nurse Stimpy\", did not meet Kricfalusi\'s approval because of the low quality of the rough cut of the episode that they received from the overseas studio, leading him to use the alias Raymond Spum in its credits. Nickelodeon terminated Kricfalusi\'s contract late September 1992, leaving it to Nickelodeon\'s Games Animation studio, which continued producing it for three more seasons before its cancellation.
