The all-time greatest TV cartoon's psychotic saga

In the 1990s animation boom, The Ren & Stimpy Show stood supreme. Animation's most talented and disturbed artists created an entity for the Nickelodeon cable network that pulled the art form out of a 25-year rut. The world has never been quite the same since, and we're eternally grateful

Now you too can join the rollercoaster ride that is the fascinating, insane real-life story of art, money, and ego that gave birth to Ren H ek and Stimpson J. Cat. History Eraser Buttons need not apply. No stone has been unturned, no magic nose goblin unpicked, in this extensively detailed history of the show that defined a generation and changed an entire medium.

Fully revised and bursting with new information, interviews, and illustrations, it's everything you wanted to know about Ren & Stimpy--but were afraid to ask
