I like his and Roman Dirge's drawing style,at times it's relatively realistic,and at other times it's Picaso meets "The Scream". Also like the silly amounts of gratious violence and ridiculous slapstick too(ei:Lenore running over Mr. Gosh with a lawnmower 124 time,or um....Devi breating the bejeesus out of Johnny...or Johnny shooting the Convience Store clerk because the Brain Freezy machine wasn't turned on),and the dialogue can be hilarious too(ie:The exchanges between Psycho Doughboy and Mr. Eff). Yeah, Roman Dirge is good, too, but I prefer Jhonen Vasquez. I agree with you on everything you said, but I have to add that Johnny's social commentary makes for a very interesting read as well. Vasquez created a crazy character, but certainly not a stupid one. I wish Invader ZIM had been more successful. That show had a lot of potential, as G-rated as it was. -=Salome=-

I like it in the Cafè scene when he starts rambling off character traits for the people he's slaughtering,where he's like "BLOW YOUR NOSE YOU PIG!","QUIT TRYING TO BRING BACK BELL BOTTOMS!" and my favorite "YOU RESPONDED TO PEER PRESSURE AND CRITISM BY TRANSFORMING INTO A SUBMISSIVE DORK!" Johnny himself though,he's crazy,but as you said,he's intellegent. He's like an evil genius of sorts,not to mention sharp tongued and quick witted,like Robin Williams meets Chris Rock in ver self-depricating way too. But Johnny does have the redeeming qualities that he only seems to kill the most offensive people he can find alot of the time,he's intllegent,he faces Satan without any kid of fear at all,just genuine increduality,and also he does have some soft spots;Nail Bunny,the reflection of his heart,the only voice of compkmtyolpion and reason in the whole thing,is a reflection of Johnny's inner child,which why I think Mr. Eff hates him,because Mr. Eff is the reflection of Johnny's logic,and logic can't work without reason on it's side. And he genuinely likes and wants only the best for Squee,who's like an adopted brother to him,and he feels remorse for what he tried to do to Devi because he really loves her. And on Zim:Of course it had potential! It also had the cutest cartoon mascot of all time! And one of the most confusing weird maybe-relationships in history,the could-be attraction between Zim and Gaz? ? Lol,I personally think they are attracted to eachother,of course they'd never let you know if they were or not. But hey,I'm weird like that.
