(The censorship of his work on the "Nickelodeon" kids network): "The
main thing is that they never understood the show. Even the basics. I'm
not talking about the outrageous stuff. Just talking about things like
"Well, we'd like to do a cartoon with Ren and Stimpy in space." The
response was, "What do you mean in space? How could they get in space?"
Well, I'd say, "They're just in space in this cartoon." "That doesn't
make any sense," they'd reply. "How will the kids understand it?" Well,
I'd ask, "Haven't you people ever watched cartoons before? Sometimes
Bugs Bunny's in space, sometimes he's a caveman, sometimes he's in a
forest. It's a cartoon." They never quite got that."
