Inside you, there's a little demon named Johnny, screaming to get out, and give that guy who just cut you in line at Wendy's or took the last parking spot or gave you the finger what's coming to him. Inside you there's a megalomaniacal little alien, deciding that he won't just beat the system, he'll smash the hell out of the system and make everyone his slave. Inside you there's also a little child going, "Squee!" And the world should applaud Jhonen Vasquez, comic artist extraordinaire, for making those of us enlightened enough to have seen his work delightfully (if a little frighteningly) aware of all that.

Discuss.

there aren't very many good sites on him oddly enough.

[URL=http://www.revolutionsf.com/article/552.html]Click here to read a hilarious transcript of a fan chat w/ him...[/URL]

then go out and BUY THE TREASURIES!!

oh, and watch invader zim, when it's on. used to be sundays at 1 pm on nickelodeon, but now i think you'll have to check your local listings.

[URL=http://www.invaderjhonen.com]this is a pretty good page[/URL]

yes the chickenfoot episode rules. although not quite as much as
"dib's wonderful life of spooky doom" or "game slave II".

What number is JTHM up to? I think I only have 1-3. Tongue It isn't fair living here, I really need to order the rest. I miss reading it.

it's up to 7. you can get the treasuries at any hot topic. along with TONS of invader zim merchandise.

or, hell, they're drawn in black and white--find a person with all the issues and a xerox machine. work something out.

JV says he has ideas for a new JTHM series, so there is hope.

takes freakin forever though and you have to wait like hours and hours even on a DSL...also watch out for crappy files...there are a lot of them out there. but yeah i managed through perseverance and lack of a life to get almost all the episodes released to date on my computer. so it can be done. best thing to do though is to look out for info on when jhonen stuff will be released, cause it's lots easier to get it when it first comes out than to try and get it later.

OMFG! Has anyone seen that Rally's ad that has a Happy Noodle Boy in it?! I know, it sounds insane, but it's true. In this commercial it shows a bunch of ppl holding hamburgers and lookin' happy. Well, any way, about half way into this commercial there are three guys and the middle one is wearing a HNB t-shirt! And the funny thing is that when I noticed this I was wearing mine.

aahh...that picture's huge. Edit: and now I look retarded for saying that because the picture's gone Smile

i think someone told me our hot topic doesn't sell them anymore because of something that has to do with the mall they're in.

All i know is they haven't had them for 2 years. =(
