    I was never a fan of his work as far as the shows go,but I was a fan of his technical genius. His work has influenced so many others,as you showed with the Team America World Police post.
    RIP

      Honestly, I always thought they were pretty simple TV, (Like Kukla,Fran, and Ollie) that I likened to advanced 'puppetry' before Sesame Street - (they were marionettes) - but you could always see the strings! Which cracked me up!
      No matter how hard they tried, they never had complete control!

      That is why I mention Trey Parker...he played on the 'defects' of the effects (the fight scenes)

        What a shame. He was a legend and created a style all of his own.
        The world will miss him and his influence.
