Trivia / Jhonen Vasquez

• Creator Backlash: His school-age Johnny stuff. That hasn't stopped him from publishing it in the back of the Director's Cut book.
• Creator's Oddball: Both Randy Cunningham and the Very Important House pilot were developed by Disney XD, the last company anyone would ever associate with a person like Jhonen.
• Descended Creator: He provided the voice of Minimoose, Old Kid, and Zim's super computer in Invader Zim. Reportedly this was because the show had already gone over budget and Jhonen didn't want to spend money for voice actors to record a few seconds of dialogue each.
• Executive Meddling: Dealt with it occasionally during the production of Invader Zim (more on that show's page), but was otherwise given plenty of leeway, save for permanent character deaths. In-Universe, this is why Devi quits her job in I Feel Sick.
• He Also Did: Directed the music video for "Shut Me Up" by Mindless Self Indulgence. It is exactly what one would imagine a live-action Jhonen Vasquez comic would look like.
• Trolling Creator: He tends to respond to questions about a Zim with his tongue surgically implanted in his cheek.
  • This also extended to Nickelodeon during the Zim's production. Executives wanted his office to decorated with cute characters from the show, so in response, he decided to put up pictures of Bloaty instead.
• What Could Have Been: Co-created a pilot for Disney XD entitled Very Important House which was shelved when management at Disney shifted.
