-jthm snippet from 1997 1st issue of carpe noctem

-jthm cosplay that i made myself :)

-anne gwish tshirt that i made because i only ever found ONE listing for the original and it was bought already :,,(

all of my individual issues of johnny the homicidal maniac came organically to me as i work at a comic book shop and people have sold collections to the owner and he gave me the issues for free!! (he used them temporarily as fly swatters because anything that isnt first printing is worthless)

i also have a small collection of lenore the cute little dead girl if any one is interested. my love for jthm was blossomed from the love i had of lenore when i was young. i grew up with my dad at the comic book store he worked at (the same one i work at now!) and he would buy me the individual issues and hardcover lenore books as they came out. i had to have been 6 or 7 which i probably shouldnt have been reading bloody comics full of profanity but FUCK IT! they changed my life and the more i learned about roman dirge, the more i learned about jhonen vasquez with jthm and aaron alexovich with serenity rose (honorable mention jim mahfood). they inspired me to create my own comic that has helped me to cope with a lot of emotions and personal trauma over this past couple years.

being an old school fan of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac in modern day is kinda fascinating. cos baby there is just about no "your fav is problematic" more than fucking Johnny "Nny" C, the guy whose whole deal is that he gruesomely murders people he deems as "assholes"

i first read the whole series when Invader Zim came out. At the time the main focus of the comic's critics was WOW SO VILOLENT OH BOY gee did he weewy need 2 kill all dos peeple🥺

but in todays discussion of media aka THE DISCOURSE , we have people fucking piling onto morally grey characters like Rose Quartz and the frustrating inevitable discussion wallblock of EVEN IF A CHARACTER HAD GOOD INTENTIONS, IF THEY SO MUCH AS WERE EVEN A LITTLE SHITTY AT ANY POINT IN TIME THEY ARE BAD BABY BAD

so thats why its fascinating to me to peek in on new fans and non-fans of JTHM in 2020 and beyond and just...

... not being able to find any of that talk about Nny?

I mean this is a guy who abducts people to sacrifice to his basement blood wall, a guy who chooses people based on the most shallow of reasons:

where i'm going with this is that at a certain point in a fandom these days, people start locking in with the morality policing and the whole "if you like this character you must support/are capable of doing what they did" crap. You can almost set your watch to it, everyone is enjoying the thing, then comes the UM ACTUALLY weaponized therapist talk

and to my pleasant surprise all i can find is just fun fan art and people just taking this series at face value (a zany story about a crazy guy who murders people he dislikes, often with extreme prejudice) without digging too deep into it

i've been online and up to my eyeballs in these media discussions for so long that i cannot look at every single one of the panels i've posted up there without hearing the rantsona youtube video breaking down why JTHM is just so darn blah blah blah BLAH this is serious you guys those are innocent people being tortured and murdered, running in the background of my own mind

When I was a kid I knew this series was just for funzies, nothing to read too deeply into, just like pretty much every other Jhonen Vasquez work! Glad to see no one in modern day is trying to cancel this literal Homicidal Maniac that kills people 😝 cos i love him🥰

I'm not sure if you were asked this already, but how would you interpret Mary Ann, the girl never seen but mentioned by the White Rabbit from Disney's Alice in Wonderland?

Ah I did have a post where I answered this ask before but I can't seem to find it to link :(

But here's my image of her for the DisneyVerse!

Disney actually did a comic mini series with Mary-Ann as the main character some years back!

Definitely check it out if you're interested in some lesser known Disney spin off media!

Just a boy called Johnny (you can call him 'Nny' for short).
