Where some people see horror I see kindness in that, in real life most kids who have their eyes ripped from their skulls don’t get them replaced with cool new glowing ones.

So I've had some time to think about it and I've determined, without a doubt, that Very Important House, had it not been a victim of the Thanos snap, would have been the greatest cartoon of all time.

Often I’ll get asked why I don’t do an animated JTHM and maybe now’s finally the time. First step I took was to redesign the look so that adults know that this is adult animation. Hope you guys like what you see! #jthm #johnnythehomicidalmaniac

Oh, hey, I the issue of INVADER ZIM I wrote comes out tomorrow. It's about ZIM and Dib being haunted by a lunatic that doesn't understand their dynamic at all and thinks they should be friends! IMAGINE THAT! Let's be glad we live in real life and buy this issue many times.

When NICKELODEON All Star Brawl comes out, I fully expect for there to be a tournament where as many creators possible of the included fighters actually do battle with one another controlling their respective creations, but that's probably too brilliant an idea.
