The
two artists first met while working together on the stop-motion animated
feature James and the Giant Peach,
and they soon learned that they had a lot in common, including (but not limited
to): A love of comic books, a taste for breakfast cereals, and an extensive knowledge
of Cartoon Law*. It only made sense that
they join forces—so they did!
The
power resulting from this alliance was mighty, and because they both understood
that with great power comes great responsibility, they decided that they should
help people improve their grammar.
