In answer to your question about innovative cartoon brilliance, who knows? People who make decisions (both artists and management) make wrong decisions between concept and completion, I guess. I do know it’s hard to make anything good (if it were easy, everyone would be doing it) and that even in a seven-minute short there a ton of places where the process can go south. I subscribe to the theory that just about ten percent of anything — cartoons, sitcoms, movies, albums, — is ‘good’. Don’t get depressed over the ninety percent you’re not into, just try to enjoy the ten percent you are into. Sorry for sounding flippant, Jack, but we’re going into the weekend. (And thanks for the “insanely talented cartoonists” compliment - I’m jazzed I get to work around them every day.)
