In your travels, have you had any brushes with animation greatness?
"I’ve been pretty lucky to meet a lot of fantastic artists and make the amount of friends that I have. John K has had me over his house many times for parties and if I had to choose, he’s the #1 person who made me want to be in animation, so I feel incredibly lucky about that." - Nico Colaleo (2015)

It goes without saying that in the western cartoon industry that practically everyone either knew or knew someone who knew that John K was a degenerate pedophile. He was only publicly exposed in 2018 when Buzzfeed decided to do actual journalism for a day.
