History Trivia / JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac

* OldShame:

** After seeing how many readers were taking Johnny's HumansAreBastards rants [[MisaimedFandom at face value]], Jhonen Vasquez expressed some regret for how the scenes were written, as he felt they didn't properly convey the explicitly delusional, hypocritical NietzscheWannabe he wanted the character to be. He also distanced himself from any notion that the character was his AuthorAvatar, for obvious reasons.

-->'''Jhonen:''' What the hell was your problem, nineteen-year old me? I do still like ''Fillerbunny''. Stupid ages better.

-->'''Jhonen:''' I have to approach each page with a kind of detachment from how annoying or outright ugly something is to me NOW. The books are what they are, and what they are is the product of someone just floundering around with pen and paper having fun doing something they’ve no clue how to do.

* FanNickname: [[spoiler: The Wall Monster]] is often referred to as "The Moose" by fans due to the combination of a line by [[TooDumbToLive Krik]] mistakenly assuming it to be one and a design on Johnny's shirt reading "777[[note]]Johnny's home address[[/note]]: Number of the Moose". Whether this was an intentional CallBack or merely a coincidence (mooses are one of the many InherentlyFunnyWords [[AuthorAppeal that come up often in Jhonen Vasquez's works]]), it was more than enough material for the fanbase to role with.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The series' preoccupation with things like malls and goths firmly places it in the mid-90's. The Columbine High School Massacre, which would go on to become ''the'' defining example of such an event in the American public consciousness, also doesn't so much as get alluded to due to happening just two years after the comic ended.
** The idea of someone recording one of Johnny's murders on their cell phone or posting about them on the internet never gets entertained, as neither was widespread enough at the time of the comic's creation for it to be something the average person would think of.

** On a more lighthearted note, Jhonen also found the formatting and editing of the comic hilariously slapdash and amateurish when he returned to the original pages years later to scan them for a digital reissue of the series.

The Columbine High School Massacre, which would go on to become ''the'' defining example of such an event in the American public consciousness and ties in closely with the comic's overall themes, also doesn't so much as get alluded to due to happening just two years after it ended.

* ContractualImmortality: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}: Johnny can't die, and is noticeably [[WhoWantsToLiveForever unhappy about it]].

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The series' preoccupation with things like malls and goths firmly places it in the mid-90's. Technology like cell phones and the internet also don't seem to exist, and Columbine, which would become one of the defining examples of a public massacre in the American subconscious just a few years after the comic ended, doesn't so much as get alluded to.
