1. Where\'d the idea for the show come from?
My love of Sci-fi and horror combined with the WB + MGM cartoon anarchy.



2. Where did you get the idea for the characters? I mean personal experience, sterotypes, stuff like that.
Personal experience ( Muriel is modeled after a real Muriel from Scotland ), current affairs, media, psychology, mythology...



3. Also, what\'s your favorite character? Other than the three main ones.
Dr. Zalost!



4. My favorite character was Kitty. What do you think of Kitty?
Kitty is my most subversive character. Cat love cat.



5. Who is the greatest special guest voice on the show, in your own opinion?
Arnold Stang!

I hope you all enjoyed these answers. Keep 'em coming!

Loved this series when I was younger. Wow I'm turning 18 in a month it doesn't seem that long ago when I was watching cartoons.

Thanks for the awnsers, imformative!

Another question, where'd you get the idea for one of the main villians of the series and Courage's nemisis, Katz? He was my personal favorite villian, just so...creepy!

Here are some more answers.

Questions: Who was the voice of Kitty?
I would have to search for this name. It's been years and I have the memory of a sneaker.


I love Arnold Stang! Can you get a hold of him, or the voice of Katz, or anyone else for that matter?
I adore Stang. He passed away earlier this year. To me he was among the very few voices that inspire. Katz was voiced by Paul Schoeffler, a big Broadway performer. He voiced many of my meanies.


What was the inspiration for Katz? He's creepy.
Yes, I designed the villain much like a sinister cat, remote and unemotional. I found the best voice to model from James Mason.

Let me know when you post it!

Me: Rest in peace - Arnold Stang

Let me know what you think.

BONUS MATERIAL!!!

Sorry to hear about Arnold Stang. That news saddened me. You also just recently lost Allen Swift. Who was he on the show? I liked Underdog as a kid.

He voiced The Hunchback.

Question: Who was that guy in the TV screen with you in the episode with Dr. Zalost?

That is William Hohauser. He is a fantastic creative.

Was Jim Cummings a good person to work with? I'm making granny stew. -Cajun Fox

Wonderful.

Do you have any current projects?

Yes. My new short Rinky Dink is completed and screening at festivals around the world and is on it's way to Annecy in June. I am producing a short pilot using photo-mation, lie action, stop motion and animated backgrounds. I am in early development on a PBS show which I will host. And two other long shot projects.

Thank you, John
