Ren and Stimpy storyboard

Stephen Worth of the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive says:

In his blog, All Kinds Of Stuff, John Kricfalusi has been discussing how he structures his stories. It's fascinating reading, you should definitely check it out.
John generously donated the archives of Spumco to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive last year. We're still in the process of cataloging the material, but I wanted to share a particularly important item with you today.

Here is an excerpt from the original storyboard to "Stimpy's Invention." Most of this board is by Bob Camp; supplemented by a few xeroxes of layout drawings by Chris Reccardi. Take a moment and read John K's notes on how he constucts his stories... (Part One / Part Two / Part Three / Part Four and his post on Outlining Stories) and then take a look at how the theories are implemented in this section of board.
