## Trivia

* Immediately after graduating college,Citation Needed Dennis lived in China for three yearsConflict with LinkedIn? as an oral English teacher, first teaching at Shenzhen Foreign Languages School and then teaching college at *Shanghai Jianqiao College*.
* Dennis has a habit of tweeting replies to fan inquiries about the fates of characters post-series ascribing absurd deaths, such as claiming Tulip "died on a boat" or Mrs. Graham was wheeled by the Apex. In an extended Twitter thread, he explained he avoids making extra-textual canon statements about his characters, ascribing to the "death of the author" concept that what is canon is only what is explicitly stated on the show. For these reasons, any "canon" statements given by Dennis on Twitter should be taken with a grain of salt.
* Once every year Dennis deletes his tweets and it has nothing to do with privacy.
* Much of Dennis' active role on the show was providing animation touch-ups, namely in adding visual effects after receiving the episodes from SunMin Image Pictures.
