I am grateful they did, but I have no idea how Nickelodeon executives took a look at the work of the guys who made Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee and said, "yep, these are the guys who should make a cartoon for us."
it's the artist(s) that pitch the show using a pilote épisode. If past work didn't even hinder the guy who made fritz the cat to work on kid shows, Nothing will.

I freaking LOVED Squee! Had the big book but lost it many, many years ago :(

Both comics were amazing. I love Invader Zim, but a Squee show would have been amazing.

That might have stepped over the line for Nickelodeon.

Haha Tickle Me Hellmo would just be a black square over the screen, with audio that bleeped every few seconds.

It's Johnny the homicidal maniac, also written by Johnen Vasquez and illustrated by Roman Dirge, the creatives behind Invader Zim.

Roman Dirge didn't do JTHM or Squee. He had a different comic called "Lenore, The Cute Little Dead Girl".

Roman didn't do the art for JTHM. It was just Johnen writing and drawing it.

Welp, need to drag the JTHM comics out again.
