Arizona’s KVOA.com carries an article about Todd McFarlane’s home at the base of South Mountain in south Phoenix, which will be featured in September on an episode of MTV Cribs.

Despite his company’s annual revenue of nearly $60 million, the Emmy Awards he won in the late ’90s for his HBO series “Spawn” and the fact that he casually mentions he’ll be releasing a comic book later this year in which Spawn and Batman meet, he’s still a devoted husband and father. He and his wife, Wanda, have a son, 6, and two daughters, ages 11 and 15. And that means that his house is more function than fantasy.

“Oh, I don’t even know,” says McFarlane when asked exactly how many furry, feathered or scaly creatures inhabit his home. There’s at least one dog, one cat, a frog, some lizards and a bird. It’s a full house, though surprisingly quiet on a recent Friday morning. It matches McFarlane’s soft-spoken disposition. He’s almost overwhelmingly humble about his seemingly chaotic, though successful, life.

It sounds even better if you imagine it read by Robin Leach.

Update: Oh! A photo!
