ZIH; pg.5; pt.2 by @AnnieMae04 (Paula Pugh)

hello, I rated this teen because I feel awfully sillying having this be the only comic rated E. I don't think it would be right.

Hmm. The only thing I should talk to you about are the hidden messeges. There are some jokes that may pass over your head if I don't tell you. Zim mentions Regis and Kathy Lee (I know she's not there any more, that's why it's a rerun). Zim says "for gods sakes stop the maddness..." and gets hit for it. You can't metion God's name in hell. See, this is the type of humor I like. Political humor. I can mix useless stupidness, cutsy sillyness, and poltical genius all into one comic, and everyone enjoys it.

Secret Messeges: Panel 1: GIR likes Kathey Lee Panel 2: He's cracked up--> Panel 5: Spooky Magic Finger Powers

I've been wanting to comment for a while, finally got around to it now...

Just gotta say, this has got to be one of the best fan-made comic-format strips the Zim fandom's got. You mentioned you didn't want grammar comments, but I think for anyone to flame grammar would be completely missing the point of it all.

You've GOT the yeah-it's-sick-but-funny-as-[title]-anyhow sense of humor down, and you've got it perfect.

Also nice to see the experimentation with full-page comic formats, something also not seen too often around the fandom community. The subject matter may not be in the same age-target group as Nick intended, but, well, who cares what they think? I think the comic is all the funnier for it. It seems to fit better, like a comfy old coat that's been kept away from somebody on the grounds that it's meant only for their parents...

Gah. Man, am I yammering by now. My pardons. o_O But ah yes, to sum up-- I LOVE THIS COMIC.

Couple other things, before I depart: I loved the idea of the fannon-born Horny Dib appearing to Zim a'la an ultimate nightmare scenario. (Having Dib's glasses show nothing but a blank reflection was a fantastic touch, by the way. Tres creepy!) The more I think of it, though, the more it makes sense: the possibility of hell BEING, for Zim, coming face to face with overblown dopplegangers of what the fanbase has remolded the canon characters into. Does this mean we might see a Gaz-dopple who tosses her GameSlave2 to the filthy ground upon her first appearance, screams that she's been blind to what she REALLY wants all this time, and either lunges for Zim or slits her wrists as piped-in angsty music somehow can be heard in the background...? [laughs]

I was also wondering how many pages of this you plan to draw. In any case, it remains your comic-- I shan't be egotistic and try to suggest anything, because you seem to be doing a d*mn fine job of this on your own. [grin]

Best of luck-- I'll certainly be looking forward to how this plays out. [sets popcorn down on the computer desk in preparation for the next installment]

Thank you very much apricot. I needed a review like that. It's nice I'm getting comments at all, but I would like it better to hear more than "Cooooooooolllll!!!!" (thank you for the comments like that anyway).

To answer some of your questions, I have 6 parts planed but pt. 3 will be the last one for a long time (Oct.). I'm trying to make pt. 5 longer than any of the ones I have so far (cause I can). Yeah, I would hope to have gotten this published weather nick likes it or not, but you guys get to see it anyway. Some where I read, Jhonen couldn't imagin what Zim would be like with more of an adult swing because he never intended it to be adult. I don't know if what I've done is good or bad, but it gives people an idea how my original comics will work. I never thought about the gameslave but you got me thinking about it(totally forgot ya know?) Well this comic will finish but you folks will have to wait a while. *~_^
