If you ever interview Bill Barretta again, I think you should ask why he (or Dr. Teeth in this case) didn’t respond to Dr. John’s death last year. Will you keep that in mind?

  Thanks for listening Ilana. That is certainly a great question, though it may have more to do with Disney than Bill as they control what the characters do, but I can certainly try! Thanks for listening!
