Your friend Dave, El Cosmico here, it is, as my pleasure on the nook-nak natverk such fun as to be able to share with the goodly lot of you those happy moments of media fare 'pon which mayhap such ought to FEED.
Take your ER, your BIG ISLAND QUESTION SHOW, your FPOOFBATLERY, I enjoy shows on my tube which are fun and entertaining. Which are a bit different from yesterday, a bit new, and with funnitude ALSO.
Earthenoids, the wise know, have no sense of things in general, and specifically very little as well. So, here I recommend one show that some who don't yet might soon find joy in watching.
INVADER ZIM
YOU LIKE ICE CREAM, YOU LIKE ICE CREAM, YOU LOVE IT, YOU CANNOT RESIST ICE CREAM, TO RESIST IS HOPELESS, YOUR EXISTENCE IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT ICE CREAM.
How many shows have YOU watched lately that have offered such clear and helpful insight? How many that resist the urge to dance around truth with tales of how perfect and beautiful things are, or how dramatic and wonderfully thrilling the lives of the COMPLETELY MUNDANE are?
You, after all, read websites, and so, presumably sit down a lot in chairs. Look now, at the creepy greyish shadows that live within the supposedly white areas of your monitors, caused by your inability to ever get your white points and gamma correction properly set.
Me, I don't have that problem, nor do I ever miss an episode of INVADER ZIM. It is a tale of the difficulties faced by a diminutive member of the INVADER kind, tasked with conquering our fair planet. Assisted by his highly advanced robot GIR.
On occasion, one might find ZIM stealing organs to avoid further suspicion during examination for head pigeons, riding floating pig transports, or having his eyes burned blind by the sun. Also, sometimes he is covered in germ-immune SPACE MEAT.
ZIM is the creation of one fine fellow JHONEN VASQUEZ, familiar to many in the comic book world for his work with SLAVE LABOR GRAPHICS. Titles he's well-known for include such visionary works as JOHNNY THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC, and I FEEL SICK.
SLAVE LABOR GRAPHICS has, of course, other fine fare such as the works of stunningly brilliant overlord EVAN DORKIN, whose genius opus MILK AND CHEESE remains one of the finest works yet seen in the history of western civilization.
IN ANY CASE, you owe it to yourselves and your kind to examine what JHONEN is offering up over at the otherwise INTENSELY EVIL AND CRAPPY NICKELODEON. Examine the official NICK ZIM WEBSITE and get your screensavers and such, even though screensavers haven't really been necessary or effective for YEARS.
Examine Yahoo's list of JOHNNY THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC websites.
Now, for some reason, SCREENGRABS:
Finally, get many good, long looks at the show itself. Already-seen episodes will be shown over and over until August 17, when we will be further blessed with happily NEW episodes of the series. Until then, continue watching every Friday, on Nickelodeon, at 8PM CENTRAL TIME. This will keep your squishy minds busy and pleased at least for a little while, blood running through them like a pair of radioactive pants.
