Thread for discussing Jhonen Vasquez and his works! Can be everything from Invader Zim and JTHM to Randy Cunningham.

Death thread but I'll. It's a nice detail you are trying to bring his non-Zim related works. I really liked Squee. IRC that comic was what originally got him on Nickelodeon's eye

Squee lowkey should have been brought to the big screen or at the very least, an animated show.

I really like how rough and gritty his artstyle is. If i was an artist it's definitely something i would emulate a bit especially his linework in jthm.

Funnily enough, on an interview Jhonen said he developed Zim because even when Nickelodeon seemed interested on his comics the man himself thought "Squee is no suitable for a kids cartoon"

>>149415638
His art style is very unique, I agree. Though some of the grittiness has gone, it's still some of my favorite art. Even the silly little things he draws.

>>149415675
I didn't know that! God, now I'm wondering what could have been.

Unpopular Opinion: I've hated that guy and his shitty art ever since Johnny the Homicidal Maniac started getting hyped up by his retarded fanboys on alt.gothic nearly 30 years ago.
I picked up a few issues of that comic and it seemed pretty clear that this was the most pathetic revenge fantasy ever written by a seething social outcast. It's hard not to picture him sobbing "Some day they'll pay, they'll ALL pay!" as he scribbled out his shitty drawings of his self-insert character killing and torturing people for literally no reason at all.
>InB4 Just stick to your capeshit lol. You're too dumb to get it lol.
Blah blah blah emperor's new clothes. It's bad art, unfunny jokes, and unlikable, mean-spirited characters passed off as "edgy". It's literally made for the "I'm 14 years old and this is deep" crowd.

I happen to really love JTHM because it helped me understand my own issues as a person. Which sounds stupid and cliche, but I read it when I was around 12 or 13 and it made me go “hmmm” at a time I didn’t understand myself at all (obviously). As someone with a personality disorder, JTHM is kind of like a dark comedy that mirrors my own viewpoints/feelings.

>likes tweets whining about cops killing black people and racial double standards
>makes the music video for White by Mindless Self Indulgence
Yeah, no, fuck this fag.

Nailed it

The difference is, now as an adult I don’t take it seriously.

Some adults do…

For what JTHM is, I enjoy it greatly. I think many people also like the nostalgia of it.

>>149416168
True, but there’s still some good golden moments in the comics, like the guy shitting his pants whilst on the date or the aliens forcing a guy to fuck a chicken.

i desire a JTHM animated series

>>149415675
As a fan of his Nny comics I'm very disappointed.
