I don’t want to start a practice of publishing an interview every time someone from Ren & Stimpy dies, but Chris Reccardi (1964-2019) was too important a figure in the modern animation world to not be celebrated in some substantial capacity. There’s been no substantial obituary, but the outpouring of love from Reccardi’s colleagues and admirers on social media has been overwhelming (Amid Amidi collected many here). To add something, I’m sharing my 2009 interview with Chris Reccardi at this link.

We definitely lost a big talent a few weeks ago. While your 2009 interview covered some of the same ground that would be further fleshed out in your Sick Little Monkeys book, it was still fun to read. Who knows if we’ll ever get TV cartoons as distinctive as Chris Reccardi’s work on R&S ever again…
