I know Schrab directed season 12. The credits for Santa Claus Conquers the Martians credits a Rob Schrad - is it the same guy? Did they typo his name in the credits?

Old MST wasn't a union show, right? If he was already a WGA member at the time he might have gone with a one-letter-off credit to avoid breaking union rules.

Sorry, I was misspelling it just like it was in the credits! Yes, Rob Schrab was a guest writer and also co-director for season 12.

(The excerpt is from Scud #3 in 1994, I think the dirt on John K. wasn't quite as out there back then.)

My theories appall you, my heresies outrage you, I never answer letters, and you don't like my tie.
Wild! I never knew that.

Too bad they didn't take any of his jokes, but I think the season 12 segments looked a bit better than those in 11.

Makes me think of the Racket Girls host segment.

If you only knew about his cartoons and published comments, you’d have a very different idea of what John K was. His victims didn’t come forward until they were adults.

The tagline of 'shackled genius' for John K. went with him for a long time. The worst thing people thought about him was how slow he was, again as far as people knew. Reference that bit from The Simpsons here.

Santa Claus vs. the Martians has 14 credited writers:

Huh, that's interesting. I wonder if they initially had a bigger writer pool and then trimmed back later on, or if they changed how they report writers, because for instance Final Sacrifice only has:

Michael J. Nelson ... (head writer) &
Paul Chaplin ... (writer) &
Bill Corbett ... (writer) &
Bridget Jones ... (writer) &
Kevin Murphy ... (writer) &
Mary Jo Pehl ... (writer)

Yeah, I definitely cringed visibly when I saw that "John K. is my god" line, but then I remembered that in the 90s he was just largely viewed as a daring new outsider doing cool and weird animation stuff. In fact his reputation was probably at its highest point in the mid to late 90s because he'd been fired from Ren & Stimpy for being TOO REAL and hadn't yet done that loving awful revival show (which kinda showed that the firing had probably been for good reasons), or been revealed as a sexual predator and possible paedophile.
