We are saddened to learn of the recent passing of longtime animation producer J. Michael Mendel. Mr. Mendel was a long time producer having made NUMEROUS stops on such series as Rick and Morty, The Simpsons, The Critic, and a SLEW of other adult animated series. Mike passed away at the age of 54 and we send our condolences to his family at this time.
