Jhonen Vasquez
Jhonen C. Vasquez (born September 1, 1974) is an American comic book writer, cartoonist and music video director. He is best known for creating the comic book ''Johnny the Homicidal Maniac'', with its spin-off comics ''Squee!'' and ''I Feel Sick'', and the Nickelodeon animated series ''Invader Zim''.
==Early life==
Vasquez was raised in East San Jose, California. He attended Mt. Pleasant High School, where he often spent much of his class time drawing in sketchbooks. Taking part in a contest to design a new look for his school's mascot, the Cardinal, he submitted an entry. Though at this stage he earned no prizes, on the back of a preliminary drawing for the contest, he drew his first sketch of the character who would later become Johnny C. His high school's student newspaper published a number of his comic strips titled ''Johnny the Little Homicidal Maniac''. Vasquez also created Happy Noodle Boy while attending Mt. Pleasant. According to him, "So many years ago, my little romantical friend in high school was the unwitting reason Happy Noodle Boy was created. She always asked me for comics, but I couldn't draw as fast as she requested. Thus, I tried to create the worst abomination of a comic that I could, so as to make her not want comics anymore. That abomination, my friends, was Happy Noodle Boy".〔''Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: Director's Cut'' trade paperback (SLG Publishing, 1997) ISBN 0-943151-16-3〕 Vasquez read his older brother's superhero comics as a child, but first became interested in the medium through the original independent ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' comics by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman.
After graduating in 1992, Vasquez went on to become a film student at De Anza College in Cupertino. Though he had little formal artistic training, he soon dropped out of De Anza to pursue a career as a professional cartoonist. He met Roman Dirge, Rosearik Rikki Simons and his wife Tavisha Simons (''née'' Wolfgarth) at Alternative Press Expo in 1995. Dirge later became a writer on Vasquez's series ''Invader Zim'', while Rikki Simons became a member of the show's coloring team and the voice of the show's crazed robot GIR. Simons also worked with Vasquez on the coloring seen in his two-issue comic ''I Feel Sick''. By September 1996, Vasquez announced in his introductory text to the sixth issue of ''Johnny the Homicidal Maniac'' that he had reached sufficient success in his artistic career to be able to quit his day job and devote himself to his art.
