There is something about this series that I find oddly hypnotic.

It's a great example of "It's not good, but I still like it." Like what the fuck was Jhonen trying to do with the Wall? Nny just hints at it's nature like once then the very next time it's ever referenced is it breaking down.

Thanks for sharing

It's kind of up its own ass, but I guess that's what was going on with the author at the time. I don't really mean to mock him by saying that; he was a young man so he was still stupid from youth.

Jhonen definitely used it to blow off some steam

It's a classic. I don't know how well it would read today now that I'm an old-ass motherfucker, but it was exactly what I needed to read as an edgy teen.

It was how the entities who were feeding off of Johnny's creative talent kept him imprisoned. There was a little bit of explanation in the sequel comic "I feel sick".

Anything by jhonen vasquez was beloved by me as an angsty goth kid. I reread jthm recently and was a little let down, it doesnt hold up as well as i remember. Zim is still great though.

Every fucking time any piece of media is made with completely legitimate complaints about society that come off as even vaguely autistic, all the roaches like this come out screeching about quality and it not having aged well and being narcissistic and pretentious. Maybe the reason Johnny was a homicidal maniac is because he was a reflection of your absolute vitriolic spite and death wish for us.

>completely legitimate complaints about society
It's pretty much just "people are assholes >:(".

>>150724021
What are you even yapping about? I still love the book and look back fondly on it. I just haven't read it in 20 years. Go screech somewhere else.

I wish for you to STFU!

That and the "sewer" metaphor Cheerleader Satan gives Nny really don't seem coherent but that may just be because it's all tell and no show. I'd really like to see Jhonen give the idea another spin, especially after he's become a more experienced artist and professional creative, but it seems like the kind of idea you'd need to dedicate multiple rewrites to.

This is what I'm talking about. Now that I'm done with puberty, reading it front to back feels totally disjointed and lolrandum.
