John Medina said:My questions.
1. Why are the HTF characters so fragile?
2. I was looking through the older questions, and i read that HTF people just appear O3O. So why do they have..... Ummm.... Yeah, Like In baking me crazy, Lumpy's "part" was showing. So how do they come into the world?
3. In Take a Hike, Petunia drank dirty water. Why does she if she has OCD? (Obsessive compulsion disorder)
1. I don't know if I would call them fragile. They don't always break easily, they just break often.
2. Same as this world...the stork.
3. She had heat stroke. Actually, to be honest, we might have written that one before we installed the OCD. We didn't really implement the OCD until the middle of the TV season, so everything before that might be different.

randomnorwegiandude said:Hey, I have a couple of questions for you, Warren.
1) That animated music video with Fall Out Boy was awesome. Is there any chance of another one of these videos in the future?
2) Have you guys thought of animating yourselves into the show?
Other than that, I have to thank you all for a very good show.
Keep up the good work.
1. No, I don't think so. There are none on the horizon.
2. That idea has never come up, and I dont' think we ever will. We have talked about inserting videos of ourselves explaining jokes or gags in the show. Sometimes we come up with jokes that we know nobody will understand, and we always say, "Well, that's when a video of me will pop up and explain the joke." We laugh about it in the meetings...but for some reason, now, I feel like I need a video to pop up and explain the explanation I just wrote.
Thanks! We're glad you enjoy the show.

benzipolipo said:Oh, I've noticed now that I've forgotten the question mark on the question 3...and a question:
4)For the other stuff (like Ka-Pow's Episode, Smoochies,Kringles,Love Bites etc...)will you make a sneak peek,or what?
Thanks in advance (again)....
4) I don't know. Kenn puts those together, so I guess if he feels like he has something to share then he will. Kenn likes to share so I'm sure he'll figure out something.

Veridiann said:Hey hey!
A friend and I are going to be collaborating on making fan-made HTF shorts. To fully recreate the beautiful brutal bloodiness of the actual show,is there any place we could get hold of some of the real show's background music?
I have no idea. But if you are recreating the beautiful bloodiness of it, you should just recreate the music as well.

As long as they're different I think. Honestly I don't know what the rules are. I'm pretty sure mash ups are OK, but if you copy it exactly, that's trouble. Don't take my advice though, I'm not a lawyer. If Mondo sues you, it's not my fault.

LoveRatchetHellya said:Hi, me again :'D
I was watching all the episodes again and now I have this question...
How come Sniffles (and Petunia) always dies the most gruesome/painful deaths? Any reason or is it just fun to torture Sniffles? :'D
I don't know. We don't plan it that way. I guess they are just lucky.

What I mean is making animations on our own,we weren't intending to try and make money or anything off of it...would you prefer we use fanmade characters as well,or are you okay with using the original HTF chars?

I don't care either way, but I'm not the one with the lawyers. I honestly don't know what can get you sued and what can't so I'm really hesitant to say. If it was me, I would stick to fan made characters, but I'm safe like that.
