Last week I got to interview Robert Smigel for almost two hours and he seemed to enjoy himself. Since Smigel has been so prolific over the past 25 years or so of his career we could have a two-hour conversation everyday and never talk about the same thing twice.

I read my first article about Smigel back in the late 80s and early 90s when his sketches on Saturday Night Live really began to garner a lot of attention. Sketches such as William Shatner Get a life; the Superfans and Schmidts Gay...

I was going to say something like this, but the author of the interview beat me to it.

I have another cartoon Ive wanted to do about the Disney vault, which is one of the most cretinous creations in marketing history, Sleeping Beauty is going into the Disney vault! You wont be able to buy Sleeping Beauty for ten years. I wanted to do a cartoon about kids who wanted to live in the Disney vault where all the good cartoons are. Then they go into the vault and there is all this awful stuff in there like Walt Disneys frozen head and Nazi paraphernalia. Just every awful rumor there ever was about Disney is confirmed in the vault.

he finally made this one!!!!
