Are you saying a fourth girl wouldn't be a blessing on your house?

a forth daughter would have been wonderful and for three weeks I had believed that was what we were having and was happy. but a son is something all together different and I am beyond excited to learn the differences between raising boys and girls!

Uhhh.... YES!!!!!!

Seriously, it's an awesome piece of work by Jhonen Vasquez, but before you jump in and expect the same experience as Invader Zim, I should tell you that IZ was more kid-friendly. And considering how and what IZ is, that's saying something.

But while the main series consisted of only 7 issues, there's also the Squee spinoff (focused on a minor character from JtHM) which lasted 4 issues and the double-shot I Feel Sick, the latter focusing on Devi.

But seriously, it's all so fucked up that Jhonen Vasquez was afraid that younger Invader Zim fans would Google his name and end up reading Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

Personally, I'd love to see a JtHM film.

Here's the actor I (currently) wanna see as Johnny C (he's also my choice to play Jeff the Killer and Marilyn Manson in a biopic):

If he looks familiar, he IS the actor who plays Artie on Glee.

I've read two issues and like it. Hard to read, all the stuff I find is low quality.

So yeah I had a nasty depressive episode, was basically stuck in the house for 3 days, ended up going to the hospital for psychiatric care, got out, and found out I was fired.

When it rains it pours I guess.

beatnix: Congratulations. I hope he's healthy and strong.

Samurai Megas: I first read Johnny the Homicidal Maniac when I was a teenager; I loved it then. When I went back to re-read JtHM in my adult life, I didn't enjoy it as much. It's kind of like Donnie Darko; it seems brilliant to a depressed teenager, but grown men won't connect quite so much. I advise against the low-quality scans. There's lots and lots of hidden words and details that you can only see with a high-quality print. You can buy the trade paperback of the Directors cut brand new for sixteen dollars on amazon. That's half of what I paid in 2002.

Apple: I feel for you.

Sorry to hear that. Is that firing even legal?
