Thinking of creating a comic...

Jhonen Vasquez is definitely one of those people whom stand out from the crowd which I totally respect and admire. He's also a kind of person whom does exactly what he wants to do and doesn't give a shit if others like what he's doing or not. His creations, Johny the Homicidal Maniac and Invader Zim are legendary in my book which is why I have really been considering taking a stab at the meat pie that is the comic world.

Check out this video of Jhonen answering a few questions..although I feel bad for him because you can tell he totally does not want to be there at all!


My desk as well as my 'short stories' folder on my pc are both littered with the begginings of short stories I started and realized sucked. Everyone else says their awesome, but you really gotta ditch things that your not digging after a while and move onto something else until you find your Death Star and destroy it.

I personally have a rather strange fascination with death, paranormal, zombies, etc. I think maybe it's a mixture of playing a lot of Dungeons and Dragons and because it's cool. I had an idea about a comic that was based on the thought: What do emo kids do in the underworld once they have slit their wrists? What if the underworld sucks worse then the living world...what then? I mean, they can't off them selves again, so what do they do? A part of me really wants to make this one because it'll be funny to see how the emo kids react to it. Could be a: bad or b: they all off them selves because somehow I managed to make the underworld an appealing place for them to be..if so, then b is 'good' scenario...
