Zoetica Ebb: Jhonen Vazquez

ZOETICA EBB: Jhonen Vasquez

When i, likely drunk, decided to interview Jhonen Vasquez for SuicideGirls, i knew i was embarking on a dangerous mission, and would almost immediately regret the decision. In spite of this, i rose, wobbling, from my workstation, staggered into the newswire office and declared it would be done.

Asking you readers to contribute some questions would surely spell trouble, too. Allow me now to thank those of you who pried yourselves away from the naked girls for two minutes and actually took your...

Great interview, Zebb!

He's an enigmatic man.

I love Vazquez so much.

brilliant. great read zoe!

haha - nicely done.

quite interesting i LOVED how he said they NEEDED to know if he had a myspace....honestly who cares?

Anywho must buy jellyfist....NOW

amazing interview
loved the cinnamon toast crunch part

i now need to Know !!

lOl, awesome interview.

Awesome.

I've always been a fan of Vazquez.

Jhonen Vasquez is god and in some plains of reality a comic book artist.

Major fan. HIs first interview was great, and this is just as.

I want to have his babies... or at least practice.

Zo, great interview, but......

You didn't ask the biggest question, i.e. is he ever going to fucking draw something again? He's a funny guy, and it's great reading the stuff he writes, but both he and Dirge have fallen into the lazy-bastard trap of not "having" to draw something, so they don't.
Hell, he wouldn't have any of these fans if it weren't for Johnny (and Zim obviously, but that wouldn't have happened without 'Ny either), and after teasing us with I Feel Sick...nothing...
When the likes of Adrian Tomine, Joe Matt, Dan Clowes and Chris Ware are pitting out more books than you, you really want to worry...

I dunno, kids these days, no work ethic, grumble, grumble...

I did touch on him branching out a bit. And how is "i feel sick" a tease, exactly?

i think i spent more time giggling then actually reading..

I Quoted him in my Yearbook. Twice.

"And the Chorus Swells"

It gives me a happy little tickle to think how horrified he is as to his fandom

Well, his art on JTHM, Squee & Filler Bunny was great, but I Feel Sick was gorgeous and colourful and ...the last sequential art he'd draw in a comic for the next 8 years or so (okay, apart from 2 Filler Bunnies)...

It's just, y'know, since Zim ended he's only managed to put out 2 comics that he wrote, neither of which seem to have taken him an enormous amount of time to write. In six years! He's the Andrew Eldritch of comics (only shorter and skinnier and with better hair). I'm not saying he owes us anything, but, um, no, actually that's exactly what I'm saying. Comics is his strength, why shouldn't we want to see him at his best?

Hey, you know what, I was only curious if he had a myspace. No big deal. I'm a big fan of Jhonen, when I saw his numerous profiles I wondered for a moment, and then when I had a chance to actually ask one of my fucking idols a simple question, I took the opportunity. Also, that wasn't the only question I asked him, my other questions appeared in the interview too.

There's no need to be assholes about it, but you know what, I bet that's really easy when it's that fucking anonymous, right? I'm not losing sleep over it, and I haven't even thought about it since I wrote that, I was just curious. Only midly curious at that. Jesus.

well in my dreams hes not naked but he is doing some awesome graffiti in some crazy places.......big fan, wish there were hopes for some artwork ...maybe paintings....scupltures......if we have given up all hope fore anymore comics. seems like alot of talent being hidden....can understand wanting to not have to deal with anyone else telling you what to do and not to do but sell/post/share something
