Media: Stimpy's Invention Storyboard Part Two
This is going to be a long post today, so I am going to keep my comments short. If you haven't seen the first post on Stimpy's Invention, please read it first. Also, make a point of visiting John Kricfalusi's blog, All Kinds Of Stuff.
For more Ren & Stimpy images, see our profile of Vincent Waller and the storyboards for... Big House Blues Seq. 1, Big House Blues Seq. 2 and Big House Blues Seq. 3.

Brilliant Storyboards. Ren's faces are much more extreme than in the cartoon.
man, I laugh and I cry then I laugh some more, this guy is a genius, beautiful drawings!!!
Now look what you've done... I'm going to have to dig out my Ren & Stimpy toons and bask in their hilarity once again!
thank you very much for giving us all interested on illustration and animation, such golden opportunity to see the behind the scenes of one of the best R&S episodes ever.
Hi folks,
I had to cut out those really extreme Ren laughing poses because the Nickelodeon execs thought they would scare kids.
Actually they wanted me to drop the whole cartoon, but I begged them to let me make it and as a compromise reluctantly took out some of the funniest drawings.
If I hadn't argued you wouldn't ever have seen Stimpy's Invention. That makes me "hard to work with" according to the people who now run Nickelodeon.
Your pal,
John K.
I've been scrolling up and down giggling at those ren faces for like fifteen minutes.
I loved seeing these storyboards. Ren and Stimpy were one of the main influences I had drawing in my teenage years, and one of the reasons I wanted to become (and ultimately became) a working cartoonist.
It's a pure pleasure being able to see how something I loved so much was constructed. Damn, I need to get the DVD's now!
Pure genius. Somehow these storyboards are even funnier than the actual cartoon! One can only guess what kind of mind gives birth to such creations....
John,
Thank you so much for sharing these! What a blast from the past!
genius
"Stimpy's Invention" was always my favorite episode of the show. The drawings are so extreme in these storyboards, that they basically begged to be animated. The poses are so easy to read, even if the captions weren't there, they're basically identical to what ended up on the show (except for the Ren drawings near the end). Beautiful work!
