The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen Flag - from Ren and Stimpy

 The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen Flag was featured in Ren & Stimpy.  The background is the popular green tartan.  In the center is red hockypuck like device with the yellow letters C, K, and Y.  Superimposed is a green letter R.  The letters stand for Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.








Ren & Stimpy like the Pet Detective are from Canada.  The original artist, John Kricfalusi, who thought up these two loveable and refreshingly original characters is from Quebec. 

Here a close up of the flag.  Notice is has yellow English cross and the red hockey puck thing is crested with yak horns.  Along the bottom are two cross olive like branches of a lighter shade of green.

In this episode John K. shows struts his Canadian heritage, and many of the jokes in this episode are for Canadians rather than Americans. 

This cartoon was for children and adults.  The adult humour is not so obvious, yet the cartoony humour is on the spot.  Instead of repeating all the gags of yesteryear, John K. was able to effectively create something new that would influence the next generation of cartoon to some subsequently.

The Royal Candian Kilted Yaksmen Flag - Black & White Version

In the episode of The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen of Ren and Stimpy.  A black and white real version of the flag appears in the title sequence.  It slightly differs from the coloured animated version seen in the episode.  The major difference is that in the b&w flag an outline of Yak can be seen with British Crown on the crest and the motto of the organization in the compartment upon a scroll.  To see the coloured animated version see the next post or click here.

Heraldic Flags from Oh Sherrie - Steve Perry 1984

In the one thousandth, eight hundredth and eighty fourth year of our lord, the barriers of love bended and swirled, for love smashed the hardened chains of tradition.

Once a man shall find his lode star of love, may no force of reason or object of false reality hold him back.

Garnered by every cell and atom in his body, he shall follow their will and change his universe.

In the wake of love, love at its end and love from behind will follow.
 

Yes indeed we all applauded Sir Steve Perry on his journey to love!

For it is written that the good of purest heart of man will abandon all riches and lusts of power to behold the power of love.

As so was heralded in 1984 by the men of stain glass banners upon thy horn.

  Rather not think, better to feel the tender and powerful phoenix of love from within, than the external yearning for loves approval.
