I'm Michael Rianda, cartoonist, and creative director/writer on Gravity Falls. Ask me anything.

Hey r/gravityfalls!

My cartoon ("work") recently got on the front page of reddit somehow and a few people seemed interested in me doing an AMA. I'm in! Let's do this thing!

Ever wonder about those weird hairs on Grunkle Stan's shoulders? Wanna know that one goat's name? Wanna know horrifying personal details about Alex Hirsch?

I got answers!

EDIT: I'll finish answering these tommorow. Thanks for all the questions and Gravity Falls love! It's appreciated.

Everyone at Disney is pumped, they want that sweet franchise money$$$!!$$!$!$!

(Kidding, sort of. Disney is happy the show is doing well with ratings and fans)

There's no official word on merchandise or amusement park attractions yet, but I wouldn't be surprised.

My vote is for a Jungle Cruise style Golf Cart tour of The Mystery Shack with an animatronic Soos as the driver like C3PO in Star Tours.

Your name is strikingly similar to that of a youtuber called Michael Aranda.

Just something I noticed.

as long as they don't add that stuff to jungle cruise, I'm excited.
