[edit] Coverage

The section about what a single internet forum "toon zone" allegedly thinks of John K. isn't really valid biographical information. He's a controversial figure in the animation industry with a very checkered past. That perhaps needs to be covered better. But to include the opinions held of someone across specific web communities is beyond the scope of a proper encyclopedia article.

That might be the basis for the negative opinion of him on toonzone but the fact that toon-zone specifically has a negative opinion of him is beyond the scope of a proper encyclopedia entry.

-- It's also completly irrelevant as most of them seem to be nothing but ignorant, typical 10 year old flaming morons. Their opinion is so completly irrlevent that it dosn't even warrent Wikipeida attention. This is about John, not what a bunch of grade school dropouts think of him.

>> I've got no idea what his problem was with Nickelodian, but it seems pretty clear that this guy can't meet a deadline to save his life. Kinda sad that he killed Ren and Stimpy by being such a prima-donna.

Attention Mods: why was his photo removed? Can someone give a valid reason for that?

• It was unsourced. I added a new image, with has a valid copyright license. (Ibaranoff24 00:44, 23 April 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Infamy Vs. Controversy

Quote: "creating the now infamous Ren & Stimpy Show." Controversial would sound better than infamous.

Infamous is just as appropriate and all the more telling.

[edit] The origin of Spumco's motto

from [1]

The origin of the motto "The Danes call it quality" is in the fact that Spumco originally shared an office building with a recording studio called Quality Sound. Spumco now uses Quality Sound's recording room and has in its possession some archaic sound equipment formerly owned by the studio. One of the names that John K. was throwing around for his animation studio was "Quality Pictures" or "Quality Animation." It apparently was a bit too normal for his tastes.

[edit] John K. helped opened a studio in Austraila

John helped open an animation studio in Austraila, called Animation Works [2]. Thier website can be found here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John Pannozzi (talk • contribs) 21:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Sheridan College

The article doesn't mention it at all, yet it's in "see also". What gives? -Etafly 02:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Mr. K. attended Sheridan and was apparently kicked out. That may be why it's in there. --Thaddius 19:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John K. on the GOLDEN COLLECTION discs

Actually, I think Kricfalusi has already provided an audio commentary for the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5. In any case, we'll know in the next five days. --- JS, 16:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Looks like I was right after all! See here. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 01:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Hungarian ancestry

I'm 99% sure that he's at least paternally Hungarian. "Falusi" means rural, or villager. "Kric" has no meaning, it can be a misspelled "kis", which means small, short. It makes sense, because "Kisfalusi" is a normal surname in Hungary (a bit rare though). That's why I added the new category which indicates his ancestry.
