Summary[]

Ren is irritated at Stimpy for buying so many useless things from door-to-door salesmen. So when a salesman comes by and tries to get them to buy a new product called salve, Ren prevents Stimpy from buying it. Unfortunately, the salesman keeps popping up in all sorts of places trying to get Stimpy to buy salve, offering it for a wide range of different uses. Finally, Ren is in the bathroom and discovers he is out of toilet paper. The salesman pops up and claims that salve can be used as toilet paper. Ren gives in and agrees to buy some, only to discover that the salesman already sold all his salve to Stimpy.

Trivia[]

  • This episode was originally a story done by Bob Camp and Vincent Waller at Spümcø. It was eventually held over for the third season at Games Animation.
  • The beginning of the episode where Stimpy is watching TV with his eyes bulging in and out is a callback to "Stimpy's Big Day" from Season 1.
  • This is the final premise that Vincent Waller contributed to the show.
  • This is the last episode where the "Created by John Kricfalusi" animation screen is shown prior to the episode's opening credits.
  • This is the first episode in which Billy West voiced Ren full-time after John Kricfalusi, the original voice of the character and the show's creator, was fired from Nickelodeon. Billy West therefore voiced both title characters from this point on until the end of the original series.
  • The episode's title is a reference to the book To Have and Have Not by Ernest Hemingway, which was later adapted into a film released in 1944.
  • This is the first episode that wasn’t storyboarded at Spümco. This marks a significant shift in the series’ production, as episodes from this point forward (save Lair of the Lummox) either never made it past the initial outline stage at Spümco or were produced entirely by Games Animation with no involvement from Spümco whatsoever.
  • This is the first episode where the Spümcø logo doesn't appear. While seemingly delineating a defined transition in production between the aforementioned studio and Games, it should be noted that numerous episodes aired as part of the second season (beginning with "Monkey See, Monkey Don't") were primarily produced at the latter studio. This episode, however, was the first one produced entirely by Games Animation (save for the outline) which is why it is considered the start of the “Games era”.
