The departure of John Kricfalusi, the show’s creator, has been well reported. What has largely been ignored is Ren & Stimpy’s impact on comedy and popular culture.

But now, due to persistence and the passage of time, dozens of the Ren & Stimpy artists, writers, directors, producers and executives have shared their experiences and insights for the first time.
