Me and NanoMoose kind of started this conversation on the screen names thread. http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=19353
The name NanoMoose made me think of the works of Jhonen Vasquez and we kind of hijacked the thread.
In order to be polite, we thought we would start a thread for it.
So if you are a fan of Zim or JTHM or anything by Jhonen, we welcome you here. Please post often. WE would love to meet more Firefly/Zim fans.

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

I kind of liked it when I was 5.
Hahaha! Mine is an evil laugh... Now die!

Here I am, in all my geeky glory. Now where were we?
Ah yes. I haven't read some of the Johnny spin-offs, or the BAC. It's hard getting a hold of them when your state only has two comic shops. My favourite Johnny is No. 6, though.
Did you read my other post about the differences between the Firefly fandom and the Zim one?
Yub, yub.

That's very nice. Really, it's great.
Um, anything else to add?
Yub, yub.

If I had kids, I wouldn't let them watch Zim. It's too dark and twisted. But that's the very reason I love the show so much.
JTHM is also an amazing comic. My friend showed me the trade paperback and I read it all, start to finish, in one night. Really funny, really cool art, just like Zim. A little more horrible, delicious violence, though.
Squee!

Jhonen is known for that, and yeah, it is a little too screwed up for Nickelodean. Seriously, I don't know why they were so surprised when it turned out the way it did. Even Squee (which was the comic they picked up that made them talk to Jhonen) has a lot of the weird. It's just a little bit...happier.
I love the art so much. For some reason I've started imitating Johnny's pose when he announces that he's exploded his spine. He throws his arms straight up the air and looks quite adorable, for a murderer.
Yub, yub.

another friend of mine showed me this DVD with some cool music videos on it. One video was really funny and twisted, had some cashier guy going crazy and hurting people. really cartoony, but with live actors. lo and behold, when I checked the credits, Jhonen Vasquez was the director. I couldn't for the life of me remember what video it was, though.

My sister is a crazy fan of that. It's from a band called Mindless Self Indulgence. The song is called "Shut Me Up".
As a show of...gratitude for your service in the past, eh, here's a sandwich.

YES! thank you! I knew I had heard of the band, but I was havin' a mental block of sorts. now that it's gone, i can focus my mental powers on more important matters . . . uhh . . . hrm . . . uh, it's funny when GIR eats tacos . . . (swish!)
Vade retro, Satan!

It certainly is. It's also funny when Zim goes off into a shrieking rant, when Dib tries to play lookit-me-I'm-a-paranormal-investigator and fails utterly miserably, when the Tallest hate Zim and say so, and when Ms. Bitters is creepy beyond all reasoning.
Also, when things explode for no reason. I have very uncomplicated tastes.
Yub, yub.
