The Ultimate Spumco Location!
by jerry
July 30, 2008 1:00 pm


A friend of mine, who happens to be a huge Spumco fan, was looking for a new home in California and came accross this listing on a street just off the Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach: John K Drive.

Here’s what I want to know: I wonder what time the Rubber Nipple salesman come around? And is the George Liquor store open 24 hours? For those who are curious, here’s the location on Google Maps.

    As George Lucas built Skywalker Ranch in the pre-existing Lucas Valley, John K. can rent or buy on his non-eponymous street.

    That is kind of spooky. I’m not sure Mr. K wants his personal privacy to be invaded like this.

    Heh. Put up a Ren & Stimpy fountain there, catchbasin shaped like a spittoon. Give the birdies a neat place to take a bath. They’ve got some dynamite sculptors working with them now…it could be cool.

    Well I wonder if there is a house on that block where George Liquor’s giant head emerges slowly from the front door. (I saw this gag in an early Flash cartoon when visiting Spumco 10 yrs ago…I swear it’s still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.)

    Interesting. Will a whole street be able to hold his ego?

    Probably goes to a dead end.

    that is funny.
    I’m sure the street loops back to a major one.

    Does the road lead to dozens of burned bridges?

    Way overdue! Way, way overdue!!!!! Congratulations, John! How many animation people get a street named after them!?

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I just saw [$9.99] in the Holland animation festival. It is one of the best animated films that I’ve ever seen! I don’t talk about animation (because animation, and etc. are things that I’m not interested in). The design is good enough not to tease you. But the literature, the script, and the cinema in this film are fantastic. Made me think about one of my favorite all time movies “Smoke”. Yes, this film is a full Auster-esque experience. Smart and witty! It has to be nominated for an Oscar!"
    – Theodore Ushev
    "$9.99"
