Tickle me Jhonen.

 

Jhonen is not a homicidal maniac like his best known creation Johnny but I wonder at times what he does to keep sane. I am also pretty sure that unlike another character of his named Squee he does not get kidnapped by aliens and anal probed...then again you never know do you? My name is Mr Six and I have been staring at this blood red wall for hours now..HELP!!

Which animal do you think will be the dominant species once humans are killed off in ritual mass suicide?

Blood Beavers, maybe. They will dam up the planet with the bodies of the bloated, gassy dead and rule with iron fists and paddles and whatnot. And they shall pretty much do beaver things.

Favorite drug-addled author?

There's this drunken bum who keeps writing urine related haikus on the stalls at the Kenny Rogers Roasters down the street. The guys a fuckin' genius.

Which sales gimmicks really turn your stomach?

I hate it when they try to sell me the new and deeeelishus Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich at Carls Junior for the unbelievable low price of only 99 cents, or for a few pennies more I can get a fantastic combo meal version of this fine snack treat that inludes fries, and a coke. Buy one now.

Which is the best comic-inspired movie, by your standards?

Geez....um........geeeez.

If there were Comic Olympics, what event would you be in?

The thirty minute steel toed groin kick.

Who's your favourite giant monkey?

King King, although, really, I've got no serious commitment with him. So this leaves me pretty free to explore other giant monkey opportuinities should any arise. It's just that no other giant monkeys so far have been as GIANT as King Kong, and have just been "BIG" monkeys.

Hangover remedy of choice?

I don't drink, so...that seems to work for me.

When was the last time drugs excited you?

I suppose I'd like to see some idiot get all fucked up on something, and leap out of a window, or something along those lines. That might cheer me up.

How do you feel your current work adds to the comics industry?

It makes spooky books happen.

Favorite background music you use when you work.

Anything that covers the sound of this maddening freeway that runs right by my house and NEVER SHUTS UP AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY WHY DO THEY KEEP DRIVING WHERE DO THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING AT ALL HOURS MAKING ME MORE AND MORE CRAZY CUZ IT'S SO LOUD AND MAKES THE WHOLE SHITTY HOUSE SHAKE....
Yes I like music.

What would you do to a fanboy who gets on your nerves?

I would love him like a son, and, like a true son, I would sell him into slavery.

Least favored place on earth?

Los Angeles.

Are you controlled by 2 dolls?

I will have to consult wih my...um...two ASSOCIATES before I can answer questions of such a nature.

What inspired you to write the movie in JOHNNY THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC?

My two overpowering, all controlling demon doll lords of unimaginable power and.....DOH!
