In all of the recent R&S talk, I saw people bring up John K's disdain for writers, people referring to a lot of modern animation as "writer's shows" in a negative way - say what you will about John K and I know I have, frequently, but he didn't "hate writers". He just had what any artist in the business should have had, a disrespect and an understandable beef with the sort of hack TV writers who couldn't draw, and didn't care about animation yet who had taken over cartoons by the end of the 1960s as well how cartoonists and artists lost all creative input and control, even in regards to the artwork on shows being run by these sort of people during the dark ages of US animation. Times and tastes change but we're still being plagued by these comedy hacks who disregard animation as a children's medium and only use it just to further their careers into live action, writers/comedians who've never really worked in animation outside a few voice roles, people with no real experience, knowledge, and passion for the medium.
