Why Jo-Hann IZ Ztill Fukin Awesome and Badass...!

Jhonen is a good artist, writer, and other such creative entities. But he is intensely private outside of public appearances and occasional freelance gigs with Titmouse and good old Misstur J.R. Goldberg, who's friggin hot as the friggin Sun I might add (love Carl). But to watch him supposedly "stall for time" for the Titmouse panel waiting for older announcements at the time made me realize: He can be  a Standup Comedian or a Shakespearean Actor if he wanted to. He's certainly still famous and charismatically cool and popular enough to. He's probably just too humble and shy about his persona to realize it, even until this day. And yet there he is, public speaking at a comic book convention even as far as 012-013, rebeling against the same sort of things that can tend to make comic book and media conventions in the U.S. the kind of places some hardcore comics folks are considering boycotting (well that or Justin Bieber. Sorry rebellious youth of America, Even I'M succeeptible to Peer Pressure. But over all the audience attending Jhonen was smaller, low key, and well behaved, closer to what I picture myself or John Lasseter's fans being like. (Yeah, I got fans! Wut wut? Bust a nut.)

But N.E. Wei. China! And furthersuch, c'mon people. People have such amazing and interesting dialogue about Jhonen in da Jhonen Gone Wild tapes (collectors items). Kidding!,and on internet forums some odd years ago. And on YouTube comments sections, and on DeviantArt. But even Jhonen is sarting to hate his own fanart.I think we all are. Obscurity sells nowadays people! Don't cha wanna be RICH, KIDS?? Then stop with all the imitation. Draw Moebius, Blacksad. PICASSO. Hentai! Game of Thrones! Ayn Rand! Sears Catalogues. ANYTHING and everything is vunerable to your art habits but the cliches, and the cliche is now the Jhonen Doom Song, but it's essentially turned into asking Micheal Jackson to rise from the Grave and Moonwalk. Too soon? Black Power! Noir Power!

Any way, it's fun hearing Jhonen lead conversations. I was sitting there thinking "Just act like your hosting a real Radio Talk show in Florida, Jhonen! Works for me when I need an ice breaker: copy the Jerky Boys or Dane Cook, Works like a charm. People love a good gag at conventions. Not eveeryone has to be "Ask a Ninja" or "Epic Rap Battles of History". Now THAT's FUNNY! But I think in the right situation that's not to awkward or uncomfortable, Jhonen is incredibly funny. But it helps to give him crew and cast and comics collaborators to play off of, not just be me and act like a schhizophrenic on psychotropics all day.

But back on point. Here's some memorable videos of Jhonen Vasquez from YouTube: That I'm taking the time to highlight, just to show how he's evolved as a person. Not necessarily "just a book in your your hands" in the Immortal and Ingeniously DarkWords of Zimself on time: Tron: Uprising, I get this vibe from him like he was really inspired by that one in some ways. The execution and layering. That'd be my guess. And THAT'S NOT a horrible show! But it's time to bridge the communication void people. Let's start shall we:

To which my online 4 Chan MEME rebuttal is the following:

Okays. Now that we've gotten all duh good old Fashioned NickToon Funnies outta  our system, onto da rest!

Writing Zim, Back in da day, homie. Those writers are good actors and structuralists, actually..

Hmm. So That's what Jesus looks like, eh?....Kewl. Doooooooooooooommmmmmmmms.Daaaaayyyy.....Stop with the pigs, Sumner.

Yes. Titmouse / J.R. and Jhonen. Like Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Sexy. Mmmmm.....

Okay settle down ladies:

Next up: Algorithmic Video Selection!

Oh, wait, we're not discussing AIZEN from BLEACH! How'd THAT get in there! Damn you Nortooooooonnnnnn Freemaaaannnnnn!!!

Darn.These things just keep getting cranked out, don't they. Audience sizes [and confidence levels] vary.

And another one!...

And a More Polished Introspective-Retrospective...It's nice seeing Jhonen Images that move. Somuch of him is static imagery in the media. He's a reclusive of course, though. Jhonenology 101.

And last but not least: a spoken Word GothGirl669 Essay:

Whooaaaaa. Duuude. You should do more of those video mash-up posts.

Yeah. Maybe I should.Maybe I will some time. Actually, I just did.

We now return you to your reuglarly scheduled anime marathons about another pretty famous cartoonist who was also just a little popular online for his day and age...
