Heh heh.... Topic? :F

I still stand by my belief that this is probably for an original....at least, that is my guess. And I'm not sure what that is in the picture. A dinosaur? xD Actually, I was thinking maybe it was a rollercoaster....I dunno, it's weird.

It looks like Ren and Stimpy were on Nick for 5 seasons, then they were picked up much later by Spike TV. MTV isn't mentioned here.

Anyway, the little figure in that drawing doesn't look like Stimpy to me, but, it's hard to tell what it is. Maybe we'll find out more... |)
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

The drawing is clearly something you'd find in John K's work. I'm sure Al is very happy to work with him, most of us know how big a fan he is of him...If john k was approached for the animation then I wouldn't be surprised if the song reflects John K's work. Didn't Al say the album would "peel back and reveal himself more" or something like that?
I think someone already pointed this out already...but I figure it's good for the Amish people who just bought an internet connection and can't tell how to read the beginning of a forum topic instead of the end :P

Excellent sum-up, Jace.

I don't see the hamster myself, but it's just supposed to be a sketch to convey a gag. The fact that anyone is able to pick up any detail from that picture is nothing short of remarkable.

It's become a Rorschach doodle.

It looks like a rodent head of some sort, and either a beefy ugly arm (very characteristic of John K.) or a hairy tentacle.

I'm not being condescending, I'm too busy thinking about far more important things you wouldn't understand.

Now that you pointed it out, I totally see that too. Freaky! :o

Maybe that's the gag.

Okay, it's not that clear. BUT, I think I can make out the words "Rockin' Out" or something vaguely similar. As for the creature thing, it looks like a hamster head to me... :huh:

Oh yeah, I succumbed to the spoiler forum. Come to think of it, even when WHiZZi made it I didn't really know why I was avoiding it.
Nice work on tracking a sharper picture, Mewrio!

I've read this entire topic through, and I agree with CatraDhtem on that it looks like Stimpy. Actually, it looks like a huge, hairy, muscular arm jamming a fist down Stimpy's throat.

:lol:

I think that's about as close of a description as one's gonna find until we see another drawing.
