Invader Zim. Canceled, but halarious...

**Alexanderofmacedon** · 01-25-2006, 06:52

I don't know why, but I really loved this show. It was taken off the air when the producers of Invader Zim came out with "Timmy the Homicidal Maniac" as a comic, which sparked some question about his material. The comic was about a guy who would have flashbacks from a war he faught in and he'd go on a killing spree. They were, in a wierd sick sort of way, halarious.

Anyway, I really loved this show and I kind of want it back on the air. Any thoughts on it?

P.S: www.video.google.com and www.youtube.com
has a few episodes uploaded on if you type in "invader zim" in the search bar. Funny, free movies...

I've never heard of "Timmy" but the writer wrote "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac " before "Zim". "Johnny" is a very sick comic.

I can't remember why it was cancelled (unless you are right about "Timmy") but the writer did plenty of stuff that people may find disagreeable before the cartoon (e.g. "I Feel Sick", "Squee" etc.)

It's a great show, really funny and filled with satire. Honestly I don't think Nicalodeon (however you spell that) wasn't aware of what they were putting on air. It's actually the type of show I'd expect on MTV or Cartoon Networks Adult Swim.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is a really disturbing comic but it's still got a very funny and somewhat demeted humor to it. How'd you like to find out you're the world's "flusher"

It's Johnny? I thought it was Timmy...

Hmm...

Even google lies!

It's definataly Johnny. The comic started like 9-10 years ago. But it's an indie publication, so it would be hard to find.

I have the whole comic series on my harddrive I won't be able to give it to you but that's just to show you that's out on the internet.

the comics are easy to find:
they exist as graphic novels as well as being available in reprints of the original format.

Well being from the maritimes (which while not the middle of nowhere I can see it from my backyard) means I never saw the comic once.

My friend has every comic ever made of it. He also has all the Invader Zim episodes and a bunch of shirts with 'Squee' and 'Happy Noodle Boy' on them...
