Career

The partnership continued with the co-creation of Squidbillies in 2005 and later Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell.

Additional credits include episodes of Family Guy, Steven Universe, and Ballmastrz: 9009. His body of work is marked by absurdist humor, low-budget experimental animation, and a distinctive vocal range that has made several of his characters enduring cult favorites.
