Ep. 5 - Elevating Simplicity in Stickin’ Around with Robin Steele

Stickin’ Around’s stick figure aesthetic was, “An illusion in simplicity,” says Robin Steele, co-creator of Stickin’ Around.

In fact, the show, which aired from 1996 to 1998, was on the forefront of digital animation production, but the origins of the aesthetic goes back to his work on Stick Figure Theatre on MTV's Liquid Television.

Robin joins us this episode to talk about how he joined the showed, the complexity of a stick-figure aesthetic, how the themes of the show developed during production, and what it takes for a show to come back for a reboot.
