I freaking LOVED Squee! Had the big book but lost it many, many years ago :(
Both comics were amazing. I love Invader Zim, but a Squee show would have been amazing.
That might have stepped over the line for Nickelodeon.
Haha Tickle Me Hellmo would just be a black square over the screen, with audio that bleeped every few seconds.
JTHM art goes hard, not gonna lie
OP you've made me a very happy noodle boy today.
Likewise.
Welp, guess imma have to go dust off my JTHM books now. Thanks for the reminder, OP!
Is that teenage Dib?
It's Johnny the homicidal maniac, also written by Johnen Vasquez and illustrated by Roman Dirge, the creatives behind Invader Zim.
I am grateful they did, but I have no idea how Nickelodeon executives took a look at the work of the guys who made Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee and said, "yep, these are the guys who should make a cartoon for us."
it's the artist(s) that pitch the show using a pilote épisode. If past work didn't even hinder the guy who made fritz the cat to work on kid shows, Nothing will.
Roman Dirge didn't do JTHM or Squee. He had a different comic called "Lenore, The Cute Little Dead Girl".
Roman didn't do the art for JTHM. It was just Johnen writing and drawing it.
Welp, need to drag the JTHM comics out again.
Wow completely forgot reading this. It was like a crazy half forgotten nightmare
