Notes From Ralph[]
"I'm the person who has historically done not all of their graphics, but 90 to 95 percent of it. And so[...], Cherry Red Records, which is now a 25 percent owner of The Cryptic Corporation. You know, I had a partner, Hardy Fox, who unfortunately passed away about three and a half years ago... but he actually retired two years before that... I had no desire to retire, I was enjoying what I was doing. So it took me a while to enable his retirement along with enabling my own career, but the outcome of that was two companies, MVD... and Cherry Red... each buying Hardy's half, so I retain fifty percent, and each of them 25 percent. Cherry Red has done a phenomenal job of creating this amazing reissue series... It's great to have that stuff out there, nobody's complaining about the income."
"I have mixed emotions and feelings around [Hardy Fox's retirement]. To be completely honest, he was the best friend I ever had. So you don't replace relationships like that. But at the same time he was kind of done with The Residents, and had grown increasingly distant over time, both physically and emotionally. You know, we used to go into the same office every day for, I don't know, thirty years or something like that. It reached a point where we saw each other once every month or two. I mean we would exchange emails and phone calls or whatever... and with that physical distance came emotional distance too... Once again, you know, you don't replace the friendship, but, you know, I have been able to replace his work, you know, his position. Basically, you know, I'm a good collaborator, and so the fact that he was gone has made room for a lot of other people to get involved to collaborate, so in a lot of ways, there's almost been a certain renaissance or resurrection. And with him having become distant before that, his departure before he died kind of made room for that. And from my perspective, that's been a good thing."
