John K. Comic-Con pitch

6:53 PM / Animation / 1 Comment

In the animation world, Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi is a legend for many reasons, not least for bringing cartoonist-driven cartoons (what a radical concept!) back to television and for pioneering Flash animation. His pitches have also attained legendary status, though, due to their extremely animated (to use an unavoidable pun) nature. I'd never actually seen one before, and I suspect that's true for most people. However, last week, at the 2009 Comic-Con in San Diego, he used his panel as an opportunity to pitch to a live audience an entire episode of The George Liquor Program, which he is currently shopping around the networks.

Those fortunate enough to have attended the panel must have experience a special event indeed, but for the rest of us, we have the next best thing: some kind soul took the time to record and upload the entire pitch. It was unceremoniously yanked from YouTube before but has since resurfaced on AOL Video. Still, if you want to see it, I'd recommend checking it out sooner rather than later:

• Part 1
• Part 2

Enjoy the insanity!
