Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Tak (from Invader Zim) wears clothes similar of Johnny The Homicidal Maniacs (another of Jhonen's work). At least the shirt.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jhonen has stated that he believes his work, as well as other comics and graphic novels, shouldn't be called 'goth' comics. He believes that it stereotypes the works in the category.
  Edit Share Hide
- Much of Jhonen's work has been influenced by Franz Kafka, H. R. Giger, and David Cronenberg. In fact, Kafka's idea of metamorphosis was used in a few episodes of Invader Zim and on occasion in his comics.

- Jhonen Vasquez: 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.
