LunarChibi I think Squee would translate better than JTHM. JTHM was really dark and though it had its wacky moments, it was offset by things like Happy Noodle Boy and Wobbly Headed Bob, as well as the whole issue where Jhonny isn't in it, I think it was 5? Anyway if JTHM animated DID happen, I'd hope they just cover the base story, maybe expand it a bit, but definitely don't continue past the ending in the comic, the story was clearly marked to end there.

Millie Rowder LunarChibi Zyphent DemonGroceryStore Jhonen is actually currently working with Titmouse to make a Squee short cartoon. :D He said that if it is successful there is the possibility of a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac movie. X) The very thought makes me so excited.
Greetings, people. Jhonen V here. I think Catbug is great, but the story I did just worked without him, and I didn't want to just force him into it! If I had to pick, though, I'd hang with Impossibear. Also, I don't age so long as people keep asking me to make more ZIM no matter what the context is. I WILL NEVER DIE. Thanks!

@k1ngdeth

Gir became a "huge icon" because Hot Topic decided to capitalize on him. Gir was supposed to remain the suicidal pseudo-foil to Zim... alas, he did not. And that ruined him for Jhonen apparently.
Jhonen Vasquez's "Invader Zim" is like Joss Whedon's "Firefly". It was a masterpiece and was cancelled way too soon.

Jhonen Vasquez...making a Bravest Warriors...I...I can't describe how happy this makes me.
Huge fan of Mr.v since his early work. Kinda glad there's no catbug because it can get repetitive and feel forced if a character is overused just due to popularity
aw,I miss invader Zim soo mutch :/
Zim was a show with really smart jokes, and really simplistic, easily referenced jokes. The simple jokes get repeated ad nauseum. I wonder if Jhonen ever gets annoyed that the dumb jokes are all it seems people remember from the show. I just hope he knows we appreciate the in depth stuff as well.

Dude. Its not the jokes they remember. Its the show. Every night when I was little, I watched that show, I saw EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!!!!
Jhonen Vasquez I really loved Invader Zim as a kid. Its great to see you here ;D
loved invader zim. it portrayed humanity through the eyes of something that isnt human, and exaggerated it to the point where even the creepy parts are hilarious. a masterpiece of a show that sadly died early. at least it died in its prime, unlike other shows that just become shitier and shitier over time and eventually die crapping themselves.
so, hey Jhonen... you should like totes uhm... make a new invader zim episode for cartoon hangover and stuff... that would be the greatest thing ever in ever.

Invader Zim is still to this day one of my all time favorite shows, top ten to be sure. I've watched the show series numerous times, it still breaks my heart whenever I think about the fact it was cancelled, and so young too. It would be amazing if it came back one day.
OH MY GOOOD!!!! I didn't know that Jhonen Vasquez was one of the writers of Bravest Warriors!!! Aaah, he's just like, THE GOD OF ALL CARTOOONNNSSS!!!!
Invader Zim is the best cartoon ever created
Ah, Jhonen Vasquez. His work is so deliciously twisted and delightfully sardonic in tone in a way that is distinctly his. Truly a master of black comedy.
Oh my God! I'm surprised by how young he is!
I adore Invader Zim and i still watch it to this day. Thank you Jhonen Vasquez
JTHM was fantastic and so was Invader Zim. And I thought Bravest Warriors couldn't get any better and it just did with Jhonen Vasquez! :)
Could you PLEASE start Invader Zim again PLEASE!!!! I want to see that show again SO BADLY!

Nickelodeon cancelled it, not Mr. Vasquez there. And they still own it, so it's not really his decision...
Jhonen is an inspiration, comic book artist with no experience in animating turning into a legend with honestly an award winning cartoon of it’s time. It really introduced me to his other works, I LOVE squee and JTHM. It really inspired me to keep drawing
Man, I miss Invader Zim so much.
Yessss. My life is now nearly complete.
Never thought about it before but I feel like Gir could quite easily cameo in this show, I doubt it would happen but theres always hope xD

Invader zim was an awesome show, and my favorite when it was on
Finding out that Johnen Vasquez is on the writing team of Bravest Warriors certainly explains things...
Based on my knowledge of Invader Zim, I'm going to predict that the Vasquez episode of Bravest Warriors will have a LOT of screaming in it... and probably some tacos.

So far season 2 has been great. It has been a bit more plot focused which is really great. The beginning of season 1 was too distracted.

Wow, I got so happy seeing or just hearing about Jhonen again. Loved his comics (awesome news that he might go back to doing those again). Wouldn't it be awesome if Jhonen was the creator of his own show here on CartoonHangover. Please make it so.
I'm guessing Jhonen didn't write Catbug in because he feels like Catbug will only be another GIR. It's not like Catbug is a main character, anyway, so rare moments will likely do just fine.

They explained it on the commentary for their DVD that came out in 2004. According to Jhonen and the crew, they were "Tired of all the success". As the show became more successful, Nickelodeon wanted more and more control over it, to the point where they wanted to write episodes themselves.
We need a NNY appearance in an episode! That would throw a gory twist!
im so glad just the hear this man speak
Jhonen is turning forty next year yet he looks seventeen. What the actual fuck.
My question is who at Nickelodeon thought, "You know that guy who did Johnny the Homicidal Maniac? We should get him to do a cartoon for us!" Don't get me wrong I love Invader Zim. But I just don't see how point A led to point B.

I'm perfectly okay with there being no Catbug in an episode. Not that I don't love him, I just think they're starting to go a little overkill with his appearances.
A good sign this show is going to get better and better :)
i didn't know he help with another one of my favorite shows o.O .. still waiting till the 18th for the next episode to air .
Invader Zim being cancelled is one of the worst mistakes in television history. Right up there with Fox's decision to cancel Family guy am Futurama (those shows came back, so why won't Zim? Did we mention that he is Zim!?
Jhonen is so fucking weird. But that's okay, because only someone like that could make something as awesome as Invader Zim.
His comics are some crazy shit. Love them.
