Fans of every stripe were shocked and disappointed in the face of the desecration-not because they couldn’t handle Ren and Stimpy being depicted as grotesque homosexual perverts (as opposed to grotesque heterosexual perverts), but because their relationship’s alternately teasing and touching ambiguity in classic episodes like “Stimpy’s First Fart” (where Stimpy’s trek to locate his lost flatulent offspring brings Ren to a nervous, heartsick breakdown) was about the only thing supplying the original series with any semblance of empathetic leeway. When Ren & Stimpy resurfaced a year or two back on the Spike network with a set of brand new episodes, the Tabby cat and Chihuahua-whose relationship had remained so potently ambiguous for so long (part of the constraints of being a cartoon on, of all networks, Nickelodeon)-were depicted in bed together, fucking under the covers like hyenas.
