John Kricfalusi talks cartoon story structure

PAY ATTENTION ALL YOU WOULD BE CARTOON WRITERS! I'M GIVING AWAY PRECIOUS SECRETS!

Thus writes John "Ren and Stimpy" Kricfalusi, whose "All Kinds of Stuff" blog mostly covers matters cartoon-related but ranges all over the place. In a recent entry he talks about creating tight stories for cartoons. It's a great lesson on story structure in general, so all you budding screenwriters out there should check it out.

You know who is a great stickler for story structure? Tex Avery. People think of him as being wild and out of control, but he is completely in control of his material.
