A couple years ago I designed a haunt. A couple days ago Knott's Scary Farm announced their own version of the idea. So here's the story of the one we cooked up: TOONY TERROR. A haunted house that warps a love and knowledge of old-school animation into jump scares and practical gags.

Genuinely gets better every watch and I feel like I'm constantly defending it! For me, its narrative goopiness is intentional and a feature, not a bug.

Not at the moment unfortunately! But halfway through the season - and definitely was happy to see the Trio show up, I liked the reinterpretation!

I went to Comic Con and all I got was this lousy newsletter!! Comic Con's easy to make fun of, but it's a bastion of creative inspiration and human made art if you look beyond the brands. I wrote about getting inspired by the little things at SDCC.

I strongly believe that, in comedy, you have to make as many of the weird jokes as you can. That's where the voice actually is. Broadest jokes possible in order to not alienate anyone are boring because it's the same joke anyone can think of, no surprise or subversion to be found. Boring boring!

Unsurprisingly no one would buy an entire Ron & Guillermo show starring the voices of two unknown comedians - but for some reason Lexus was willing to fund it if every ep was about different celebs, so that’s what it became! Ron & Guillermo ended up the premiere and it’s still a fave.

From the very first animated series I made with Harry Chaskin and Dan Lippert! The initial pitch was simply a stop-mo sitcom all about Ron Perlman and Guillermo del Toro living together as roommates. NORMAL. Mostly fueled by how much we loved seeing their real life friendship play out at comic con.
