My Vacation.” tiny toons really kick started his career leading him to large heights and larger companies I think it is safe to say that he has solidified himself into cartoon history.

Mr Oscar Garza the creator of Mashbone and Griffty said “It’s interesting for me personally it is the stories that I like to tell but I know going into this project knowing that im limiting my audience in theory if I go my whole career doing these kinds of stories then my children will not be able to see them till they’re grown I don’t want to get pigeonhole doing only grown up type stuff.” To solve that problem Garza and his writing partner released a kids book Lemon Pepper Huggz”The stuff that I right is categorized as adult comedy it is so juvenile i’m just looking to make people laugh and I do it with adult humor.” He feels that his comics could be enjoyed by everyone “if i were to remove the language that might upset parents but much of the bad stuff that goes on in the book isn’t done by the two main protagonists.”

Garza talks about his style of drawing.”That came through college when I was looking for my artistic identity.I just loved drawing, you see batman you draw batman you see wolverine you draw wolverine but there were certain artists I just clinged to.This eventually led to his signature style the blocky face with big hands and feet with blocky fingers.Ever since he started his style he has never changed it. Garza said starting out his problems where.”Time and money, Time and money especially when you work a day job just finding time to draw comic my first issue of Mashbone and Griffty took me like 5 years just drawing it in my free time after work on

the weekends and then when I finished there was nowhere to go because I was in college there wasn’t printers in every house back then but I got it printed and done after that I just decided I was going to put more time into that so I started making more books buying stands at conventions and all the money we make gets put back into the book so starting out that was a problem but not really anymore.”

Steven Schunn a very talented concept artist who has worked on Rick and Morty,Laser Fart, and HarmonQuest said “Working on rick and morty was a special moment for me it was a different experience I really had not done anything that popular.”

Schunn said “when I was first selected to help on HarmonQuest it was a pretty funny moment because it’s not everyday you get an opportunity to go help animate something so unique

I originally thought he wanted me on the show to play in the adventure so it was a little disappointing when

I found out I was going to animate.” HarmonQuest is a not super popular cartoon where Dan Harmon and some of his celebrity friends play

Dungeons and Dragons then they animate what happens.

Schuun said “Working for

Adult Swim was some of the funniest, most joyful moments of my life but I had a tough time. Sometimes Dan would make us stay hours later than we were supposed to just to make this one little scene perfect.” Schuun then added “ I think a few times we were at the studio till 2:00 just animating it was exhausting.” Schuun,Garza, and Visser all dedicated their lives to their jobs because if they didn’t then no one would look at there cartoons and exclaim that’s pretty.
