About this Item

Inscribed "John Kricfalusi / 1-24-97" on cover in black ink. Spumco Comic Book Volume No. 1 / Issue No. 2. The continuing adventures of George Liquor and Jimmy The Hapless Boy. Comic book measures 9" X 12" and is new condition.Canadian-born cartoon cartoonist Kricfalusi began his career by working on low end Saturday morning cartoons like the Jetsons revival and Fat Albert and the Cosby kids. In 1987, Kricfalusi's mentor, Ralph Bakshi, "saved" him by hiring him as supervising director on his show "Mighty Mouse, the New Adventures" (1987). The show was canceled after a scene where Mighty Mouse sniffed a flower to get superpowers and some people thought he was using cocaine. Soon afterwards, Nickelodeon bought his twisted brainchild "The Ren & Stimpy Show" (1991). But after continuous battles over script content and control, he was fired from his own show in 1992. After he was fired, he furthered his fight for creative freedom by founding a website where he sold dolls of his other characters. He then hired some of his old Ren and Stimpy co-workers and produced the first 'made for the web' cartoon series "The Goddamn George Liquor Program" (1999). He also created and produced "Weekend Pussy Hunt" another 'made for the web' series. Other work includes directing a Yogi Bear short for Cartoon Network, directing a music video for Björk. And in 2001 he returned to TV with the Saturday morning cartoon for Fox Kids called "The Ripping Friends" (2001), which he created and produced.
