George Liquor

George Liquor (often taking his epithet as George Liquor "American"), most famous for his appearances on The Ren and Stimpy Show. Literally, George serves as the nemesis of Ren, but most often seen as the owner of the two already mentioned. He is a cartoon character created by John Kricfalusi and is a mascot for Kricfalusi's defunct animation studio, Spümcø. Kricfalusi portrayed George Liquor as a patriotic, outspoken, politically conservative blowhard. Kricfalusi described Liquor as his favorite character to animate.

George was voiced by Harris Peet in his first starring episode of The Ren and Stimpy Show and has been voiced by Michael Pataki since. George Liquor appeared in episodes of The Ren and Stimpy Show, the episodes of The Goddamn George Liquor Program, comic books, webcomics, internet cartoons, and advertisements. According to Kricfalusi's blog, a new webtoon starring George is currently in development. It will be sponsored by Pontiac Vibe.

Personality
Kricfalusi described George Liquor as "the greatest American" who is so conservative "that he thinks the Republicans are Commies". George harbors a deep antipathy for the political left; in one issue of Spümcø's Comic Book, George Liquor becomes enraged after a fish calls him a Democrat.According to Kricfalusi's "George Liquor Story Bible," George is a middle-aged, crass, religious, ultra-patriotic American who favors his nephew, Jimmy The Idiot Boy, and tries to teach Jimmy how to be "a Real Man".

Liquor lives in the fictional city of Decentville, USA. George strongly believes in discipline and corporal punishment; his motto is "it's discipline that begets love". In the two episodes of The Ren and Stimpy Show in which he starred, George treats Ren and Stimpy strictly and tries to make them as disciplined as possible. In an issue of Comic Book, Liquor questions how parents can love their children without spanking them.

Role in The Ren & Stimpy Show
George Liquor’s first official appearances were in episodes of The Ren and Stimpy Show. The Ren and Stimpy Show was a cartoon series that Kricfalusi created, sold to the channel Nickelodeon, and directed at his studio, Spümcø. Liquor starred in the episodes "Dog Show" and "Man's Best Friend" and made brief cameos in the episodes "The Boy Who Cried Rat" and "Robin Höek". According to Kricfalusi, Liquor only appeared in a few episodes because those in charge of Nickelodeon at the time hated the character. Ren and Stimpy animator Bill Wray described Liquor as a character that Nickelodeon "never liked" because the name "Liquor" both was a reference to alcohol and sounded like the words "lick her". Wray said that Nickelodeon disapproved of George but did not forbid Kricfalusi from using the character.
